Daily Devo | The God of Peace (New Testament in a Year, Romans 16:1-27)

As Paul concludes his letter, he warns believers to watch out for those who create divisions and lead people away from the true teaching of the gospel. Instead, we should remain wise about what is good and innocent regarding evil. We each have to ask ourselves if we are working to build up ourselves or to build up the unity of Christ's body, the Church. After all, we are serving the God of peace (v20). It is the God of peace who will ultimately silence those who seek to harm rather than heal.

For Reflection:

- The first 16 verses are filled with people who have helped Paul and others in bringing honor to God. Who are some of the people who you would commend or thank in your life?

- How might God want to use you to build bridges and unity rather than cause divisions (vv17-20)?

- What do you think it means to be "wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil" (v19)?

- Prayer: Lord, help me grow in wisdom, love, and faithfulness, bringing glory to you through the way I live each day.
