FAMILY THEME: LIVING IN THE SPIRIT

Romans 8:1-39

Romans 8 has been called "The Greatest Chapter". In Romans 8 Paul

laid out some tremendous gospel truths that should strengthen our

souls and encourage our spirits.

1.  In Christ We Are Free From the Condemnation of Our Sin

     (Romans 8:1-11)

     Condemnation can come in the form of guilt, shame, and

     punishment, but this no longer applies to the person who

     has been redeemed.

 
2.  In Christ We Are Free to Live as Children of God

     (Romans 8:12-17)

     Our position in Christ as adopted children provides us

     with an intimate and fulfilling relationship with our 

     Heavenly Father in which we can call out to God at

     any time.

 
3.  In Christ We Are Free from Hopelessness

     (Romans 8:18-30)

     Despite living in a world filled with hardships, suffering,

     and weakness, believers still live hope-filled lives.

4.  In Christ We Are Free from Insecurity

     (Romans 8:31-39)

     Regardless of what people think, say, or do, our judge

     and justifier is Christ alone.
