Romans 8 is a seminal chapter on the doctrine of salvation, with special emphasis on the security of salvation and having assurance of your salvation. As I quoted when we began this series: "We enter this chapter with no condemnation, we close with no separation, and in between all things work together for good to those that love God." This chapter describes the only two kinds of people in the world: Christians and non-Christians, saved and unsaved, born again and spiritually dead, in the Spirit and in the flesh, set free and enslaved to sin, citizens of the Kingdom of God and citizens of this world, spiritually sighted and spiritually blind, standing in grace and under the Law, justified and condemned, spiritual and natural, destined for heaven and destined for hell, new creatures and still tied to old things, pleasing to God and unable to please God, trusting and scoffing. This next section continues to make the case for assuring you of the security of salvation in Jesus Christ, and it contains the crucial piece of explaining your obligation in light of all that you have in Christ. As it is with every visit we've made to this chapter, you see that it is all tightly connected. Notice the connecting words: So then, for, and for. 1 - You Are Under Obligation (12a) a - The Wrong Way To Live (12b-13a) b - The Right Way To Live (13b) 2 - Show That You Are God's Child (14)
