In the world today where nothing is sure, we who belong to the Lord, are assured that we are children of God and joint heirs with Christ.  Romans Chapter 8 gives us this assurance.  Reread it and let your heart sing out praise and glory to Most Holy God!  I’ll share just a few verses here.

Romans 8:
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.”  Vs. 1

“For those who live according to the flesh set their mind on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”  Vs. 5-6

And why?
“For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”  Vs. 7-8

“You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you.  Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him.”  Vs. 9

Then:
“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons (daughters, too) of God…you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba Father!”  Vs. 14-15

“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”  Vs. 16 

The Apostle Paul, the writer of Romans, tells us,
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”  Vs. 18

“For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of child birth until now.
And not only creation, but we ourselves…groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.”  Vs. 23

The Spirit, our Helper, helps us with our prays.
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  For we do not  know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”  Vs.26

Vs. 28, we all know and trust in,
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.
For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He may be the first born among many brothers (sisters, also).  
Vs. 28-29

“And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those who He justified He also glorified.”  Vs. 30

Vs. 31-38 tells us of God’s everlasting love.  Please read it in it’s entirety.
“…If God is for us who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things.
Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?  It is God who justifies.
Christ Jesus is the one who died…who was raise--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?  Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger or sword?…
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 
 (We agree with Paul!)
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present not things to come, nor powers nor heights nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

I quote Sinclair B. Ferguson, “Here, then, are four cornerstones on which believers can build a lifetime of assurance,  they will never be separated from Christ; they can never be condemned before God; no accusation can  be made to stick against them; no opposition can intimately overcome them.” 

Your love Lord is higher, wider and deeper than our finite comprehension!  Thank you Most Holy Father for sending your Son to rescue us and for sending Your Spirit to lead and guide us in the life we now have in Christ. We worship and adore You.  Amen
