Section 18

have been baptized into Christ (6:3), how Christ has been wrought into the believers (8:10), and how the believers have put on Christ (13:14). Then it reveals how all these believers are built together into one Body (12:4-5) to express Christ. Thus the churches have come into existence in many cities in a local and practical way, with all the saints loving one another and fellowship ping with one another among all the churches to express the Body of Christ for the fulfillment of God's mystery. This is the ultimate consum mation of the full gospel of God. It is through this that Satan is crushed under the feet of the saints (16:20), that the grace of Christ is dis pensed to all the saints (16:20), and that the glory is and will be to God unto the ages of the ages (16:27). The eternal God has made known this mystery to all the nations unto obedience of faith.

In Romans 15 and 16 God is called the God of endurance and encouragement (15:5), the God of hope (15:13), the God of peace (16:20), the eternal God (16:26), and the only wise God (16:27). Our God is a rich God in many aspects— in endurance, encouragement, hope, peace, wis dom, and in being eternal—and the gospel in Romans is the gospel of such a rich God. The

gospel of such a rich God consummates in the practical church life. Hallelujah!
