John Stott expounds Romans 11:33-36 to describe what living in light of the gospel is. He defines this life as one of worship, noting the doxology of Paul at the end of the theological section and at the beginning of the practical section of Romans. Stott then expounds the verses one by one to show how a right knowledge of God would and should produce true worship in our life. He shows three noteworthy truths of God in Paul’s doxology – i) how God is altogether beyond us, ii) how God is altogether independent of us and iii) how God is the center : the source, the means and the end, of all things. Stott then spends the rest of the time exploring the relationship of theology and doxology. He notes how our knowledge of God and our worship of God are never to be separated from each other, rather the former flowing into the latter and the latter flowing from the former, in order to live a life in light of the gospel.
