7-Step QT Notes

1. 🙏 Quiet Time

Pause.
Take a deep breath.
Ask God to help you live for His glory and trust His wisdom in every season.

2. 📅 October 12, 2025

Today’s passage reminds us:
God’s glory is the ultimate purpose of life.

3. ✝️ Romans 16:17–27

Paul ends Romans with a powerful doxology: God, who planned salvation history with perfect wisdom, deserves eternal glory through Jesus Christ. After all the theology and practical instructions, Paul closes with what matters most—God’s glory. This is the heartbeat of the Christian life.

4. 📖 Key Verse

“To the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.” (v. 27)

5. 📝 Reflection

Romans couldn’t end in a better way. Paul reminds us that everything—our salvation, our calling, our daily lives—exists for God’s glory. His wisdom shaped history, and His plan continues today.

Forget the complex theology for a moment and hold on to this truth: God is worthy of glory forever.

In a world chasing self-promotion and personal success, this passage calls us to a different focus: living for God’s glory. What does that look like? Choosing integrity when no one sees, serving without applause, and finding joy in honoring Him above all else.

6. 💬 What does this passage speak to you today?

  • Where am I tempted to seek my own glory instead of God’s?
  • How can I make God’s glory the theme of my decisions this week?
  • What practical step can I take to reflect His wisdom and honor Him today?

7. 🙏 Prayer

Lord, You alone are wise and worthy of glory forever.
Help me live for Your honor, not my own.
Let Your glory be the joy of my heart and the theme of my life.
Amen.

Scriptures

📖 17 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. 19 For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

22 I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord.

23 Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.

25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages 26 but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen (Rom 16:17-27, ESV).
