Scott continues the study of Romans, in Chapter 8:18-27, focusing on what it means to be adopted as sons and daughters of God. He explains the confidence, assurance, and hope that believers can have because of their spiritual adoption, drawing parallels with Roman adoption practices and the biblical vision of inheritance. He emphasizes that through Christ, believers have the ability to draw near to God, knowing their inheritance is secure and guarded by God's power.

The episode also discusses the reality of suffering and trials in life, and how focusing on Christ is essential to not losing heart. Scott shares that the future glory awaiting believers far outweighs present suffering and is of a completely different magnitude. He explores how creation itself waits eagerly for redemption and how prayer—though often done in weakness—is made powerful through the Holy Spirit’s help. The episode ends with reminders to persevere in hope, pray persistently, and rest in the confidence that God hears prayers and guards both believer and inheritance.
