Salvation, the Holy Spirit's Work, Security, and Assurance are the main themes running through Romans 8. Here in the middle of the chapter we discover the implications of being adopted into sonship, and a new bittersweet theme joins the chorus that will take us through the rest of the chapter. 1 - Because Slavery and Fear are Behind You (15a) 2 - Because You Are Adopted (15b) 3 - Because You Are God's Children (16) 4 - Because You Are Fellow Heirs With Christ (17a) 5 - What's Included In Your Inheritance? (17b)
