Pastor Fee teaches us that Paul closes this section of the letter with another personal benediction for the believers. The God who gives us his peace was a Jewish benediction, and Paul offers it here to his Jewish and Gentile Christian readers. This phrase sounds as if it should signal the end of the book, but the epistle continues on for another chapter. However, this benediction pronounces the end of Paul’s teaching—the last chapter is an extended salutation. His greeting at the opening of the letter was “Grace and peace to you” Most of the letter had explained the nature and results of God’s grace. It was natural, then that he close by referring also to the God of peace. Pastor Fee will be teaching from the Book Romans 15:28-33 and his message is entitled: “The God of Peace be with You”

Scripture References: Romans 15:28-33
