Every family has its own culture, and God tells us His family is a family of love. Love, however, must be defined by God. This passage in Romans describes the family love we should have for one another.

Life pulls us in so many directions, and it often feels like we might be pulled away from God's love. But Romans 8 ends with strong assurance that nothing in the universe can separate us from the steadfast love of Jesus.

Many of us believe that our opinion is the most important assessment of our own lives. Other times, it is the opposite: our verdict is defined by everyone else’s opinion, and we get busy and work really hard to impress those around us. However, the opinions of mankind (even ourselves) are powerlessly insignificant when compared to the true and final verdict from the Father. While this may seem daunting, we see in Romans 8 that this all-powerful verdict is also the most freeing.

Security comes when we let God be God. Romans 8:28-30 explains why we can have such security by taking us into eternity past to share the mysteries of God and His work.

In life, we often face struggles that seem insurmountable. Through the intense heart-ache, loneliness, doubt, and sorrow, we find ourselves without the strength or ability to express the deep pain we are feeling. Yet, through Christ, we have an Intercessor, the Holy Spirit, to utter groanings to the Lord on our behalf when we are utterly incapable. While we may be weakened, He is our sufficiency and meets us where we are in our frailty and struggle.

Creation groans as it looks forward to its redemption. And those who are adopted as God’s children groan, because the Spirit in them gives them a glimpse of the glory that is to come, that complete joy of living with God. Are you eagerly awaiting that future time with Christ? (Romans 8:23)

What we so often lack in life is a robust vision of God. Our puny views of him cause us to misunderstanding ourselves and others. Thankfully, God has given us His Scripture and His Spirit to lead us into a deeper knowledge of Him and ourselves.

We have a tendency as Christians to know so much about soul-satisfying joy of the gospel, yet experience so little of that joy. As we see in Romans 8:14-15, God shows us that He has not just made us right with Him but has through His great love adopted us as His own sons. As we learn to step out of the courtroom and into the living room with our Father, we'll find that we truly experience the joy of the gospel.

If you don't get busy killing sin, sin will get busy killing you. In a church culture where we often flinch at the thought of cracking down on bad behavior, it's important to reflect on the message of Romans 8 and remind ourselves that sin has no place in life with the Spirit. Listen this week as Rusty dives into Romans 8:12-13 and helps us understand how to recognize and fight sin practically and effectively.
