Scott continues the study of Romans with Romans 8:1-4, focusing on the assurance and confidence that come from understanding there is “no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.” The discussion addresses common human fears—fear of punishment, shame, abandonment by God, and death—and explains how these fears are answered through the work of Jesus Christ. Scott shares personal stories and practical insights, helping listeners grasp that freedom, assurance, and a close relationship with God are available through faith, rather than adherence to law or performance.

He also covers the transformation that occurs for believers: sin and death are rendered powerless, and instead of guilt and shame, God offers forgiveness and acceptance. The difference between earthly consequences for sin and God’s eternal forgiveness is discussed, emphasizing that discipline from God is rooted in love, not wrath. Scott also explains how God’s character guarantees His promises—He will never abandon or forsake those who are His, and His love is immeasurable. Listeners are encouraged to rely on the presence of the Holy Spirit, who assures believers of their status as God’s children.
