Romans 8:17-25

Over the last two weeks we have looked at the implications of our adoption

into God's family: what does it mean to be a child of God? This week we

focused on learning about our inheritance: the heavenly glory and the

earthly suffering. Do we know how to suffer? Do we value trial the way God

does?

This section of Romans 8 shows us what it truly means to be a son of God. Pastor Briscoe uses verses 14-17 to outline three defining characteristics of sonship: (1) A son must be led - choosing to listen and obey, (2) A son is loved - we must know that we are loved by God and this must lead us to devote our lives to Him, and (3) A son is lifted - we are heirs of God and this should direct our focus to eternal things rather than the things of this world.

We know that through salvation we have been born again and sealed by the Spirit of God, but even with that security, our flesh has the ability to creep in and take control.
