Romans 8:31-39

If God is for us:Though enemies rise against us, We will not be defeatedWe will not know lackWe will not be condemnedJesus Christ intercedes for usNothing will be able to separate us from the love of God the Father, or the love of Christ, His Son!

If you are a child of God your life does not consist of a series of random events and experiences. But everything you experience, whether good or bad, is designed for your growth into the image of Jesus Christ.

Sometimes our longing for glory exceeds human language or expression. We cannot find words to fully express our yearning for freedom. But The Holy Spirit knows what our hearts are trying to express, and He speaks for us and through us to the Father.

He pleads for the saints. He pleads for our freedom and for our final transformation to come to pass.

Even so, Come Lord Jesus!

Romanse 8:18-25

The debasement of humanity in the garden has resulted in the corruption of all of creation. At some level, creation herself is aware of its corruption. Creation recognizes that its fate and freedom is directly tied to the fate of the glorified children of God. Therefore creation longs for humanity’s renewal.

Both man and creation have been brought low against our wills, but according to the will of God.Unregenerate humanity groans in unison with creation, instinctively realizing that they are made for something greater.

We who are led by the Spirit also groan, even though we have the proof of the glory of God within us. We too hope and eagerly await the finalization of our adoption. The redemption of our sin-sick bodies to the holy and liberated state which is our inheritance.

Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Romans 8:12-17

Through Christ our carnal nature (flesh) has been put to death. Therefore the flesh no longer has power over us.

If the flesh is not dead, we are yet in our sins and we will undergo the second death.

But if we are led by God’s Spirit, we subdue our flesh, and we will inherit eternal life.

Those who are led by the Spirit are acknowledged by God as His own. And we will be glorified with Christ for all eternity!
