God sovereignly shows His wrath and mercy to remind us of the awesome riches of His glory!

God sovereignly executes his purposes according to election

God’s promise and covenant with Abraham for an offspring in which the promise will be made. God’s Sovereignty in all things despite man’s idolatry of themselves and their sin. God’s promise fulfilled through Jesus Christ.

Paul’s anguish towards his fellow Israelites that are unsaved based on their rejection of Jesus as the Messiah. Paul is desperately pleading with his kinsmen to come to Christ and we should be doing the same for the lost in our lives.

We are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ. There is no one who can separate us from God’s love and no one who can reverse what He’s done.

As adopted children of God, we have a hope of eternity that causes us to long for that day when we will be with God – and this hope enables us to endure the present sufferings.

As adopted children of God, our lives are not immediately purged of sin; rather, we are now able to recognize indwelling sin and fight against it daily.

We find real freedom when we are slaves to God, pursuing righteousness daily and receiving the fruit of the Holy Spirit that makes us more into the image of Christ.
