Text:  Romans 8:14-39

God is listening to us in our struggles

  • It is a real struggle – Romans 8:17
  • It is temporary and cannot compare with the glory that awaits us – Romans 8:18

We live in hope of what we already have a taste of in Christ

  • We are baptized with a future orientation
    • Immediate forgiveness of sins
    • Immediate indwelling of the Spirit
    • Future redemption of our bodies v. 24, I Corinthians 15:42-44
    • Future inheritance – v. 24, 32
  • In Christ is key! – Romans 8:1, 39
