I personally believe that Romans is the greatest book in the Bible. It talks about the greatness of our salvation by a Trinitarian God (chapters 1-11) and then expands
upon our what our response should be to that wonderful salvation. We see that in chapters 12-16. If you can understand all the truths that are taught in Romans, then you can probably understand what is taught in the rest of the Bible.
Take your Bible (or Bible app) and open it to Romans 11:33-36.
Chapter 11:33-36 concludes the treatment of our salvation and at the end, the Apostle Paul erupts with an outburst of praise:
“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable are His ways!
For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor?
Or who has given Him a gift that he might be repaid?
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. AMEN”
That is a doxology! Those are expressions of praise and adoration of the Lord. Those words are God exalting and God glorifying. That doxology praises the Lord for His infinite wisdom and power and providence. You read those verses and you come away with awe and wonder. And thanks! What a great and mighty God we serve! And Romans 11:33-36 is one of many!
