Romans 11:33

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

The magnificent doxology, here and to the end of the chapter, is an exclamation of adoration and praise to God, with which doxology Paul concluded his tremendous dissertation upon the Father's attribute of righteousness. Paul traced the divine record of God's dealings with humanity throughout all previous history and spelled out in the most concise and logical manner possible, the fairness and justice of God's treatment of Jews and Gentiles alike, with the conclusion stated in Romans 11:33, that God had shut up all unto disobedience and that he had provided mercy for all, the two "all's" there being the measure of God's absolute justice and righteousness.

Paul's termination of this section of the epistle with such a warm and eloquent expression of loving truth of God is a source of great confidence to all the saved. Paul, who understood such things better than any other who ever lived, stated his absolute trust and confidence in the inscrutable ways of God, whether people understand them or not (and, in the very nature of things, people can never FULLY understand them), God is in control. Nothing else really matters. God's ways cannot be fully known to mortals; and in the degree that they are known they are not fully comprehended; but true faith receives all that God does in full trust and confidence. He who gave his Son to die for people will grant eternal happiness to every possible recipient of it, provided only that people believe and obey him.
