This text culminates in v. 57. Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is so full of awe at the goodness of God to sinners, he breaks out in exuberant praise. It is a sublime final stroke on the glorious landscape of the resurrection in this fifteenth chapter, followed only by the doctrine’s practical rallying cry in v. 58. So why is Paul giving thanks to God? For this we turn to the preceding verses. God’s Word is calling you this morning to return with Paul thanks to God for your salvation.
