The endwelling Spirit transforms us from the inside out. He is not merely a resource we consult when it suits us. Paul acknowledges that suffering is part of the believer's experience, but insists it is incomparable to the glory that awaits. He points to the full experience of God's presence and goodness that lies beyond this life, and to the complete realization of our adoption as God's children — which includes the redemption of our bodies. Pastor Rick spoke this message at CrossPoint Church.
