Limitless Word
Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,
Romans 14:24 · World English Bible

Quick answer

Paul breaks into praise to the God who is able to establish believers according to the gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ. Our standing rests on God's power and His revealed gospel.

Overview

This begins Paul's closing doxology (in many texts placed at 16:25-27). After all the exhortation, he turns to praise: God is able to make believers stand firm. That stability is grounded in the 'Good News' Paul preached, the message of Jesus Christ. The reference to a long-hidden 'mystery' sets up the theme of God's eternal plan now unveiled, which the next verses unfold.
