Let's Go For A Walk Down the Romans' Road: Romans 8

So tonight's Bible reading was continued in Romans. I just had to share these verses with you because they just overjoyed my heart so!

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

THE SAME SPIRIT THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS THE SPIRIT THAT ABIDES IN EVERY CHRISTIAN'S HEART TODAY! HOW AWESOME! WHY DO WE NOT DESIRE MORE AND MORE OF THIS SPIRIT?

Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Ab'-ba Father.

BEAUTIFUL.... WE HAVE BEEN ADOPTED INTO GOD'S FAMILY. WE CAN CRY OUT TO OUR FATHER WHEN WE ARE HURTING OR NEEDING HIS SUPPORT. DADDY..... DADDY!

Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

HOW ASTOUNDING. WE ARE JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST. WE WERE ADOPTED INTO THIS ROYAL FAMILY AND WE ARE JOINT-HEIRS WITH THE KING OF ALL KINGS WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US! GOD LOVES US SO..... WE DON'T RECEIVE A SMALL PORTION..... BUT A JOINT PORTION!

Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

I LOVE THESE VERSES! THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE GRAVE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT MY GROANINGS IN PRAYER MEAN EVEN WHEN I CAN'T FORM THE WORDS TO SPEAK THEM. JESUS KNOWS MY INNER BEING SO WELL THAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SPEAK, HE KNOWS THE DESIRES OF MY HEART AND SOUL! BEAUTIFUL LOVE! AMAZING LOVE!

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

THIS IS SO ENCOURAGING TO ME AS A BELIEVER! EVEN WHEN THE DAY IS ROUGH, I KNOW ALL THINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER FOR GOOD IN MY LIFE BECAUSE I LOVE GOD AND HE HAS A PLAN FOR MY LIFE!

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

READ THAT AGAIN SLOWLY....... NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD. NOTHING..... ONCE YOU ARE SAVED, YOU ARE AN HEIR TO GOD'S KINGDOM! HOW AMAZING! WE MAY NEVER BE PRINCES AND PRINCESSES ON THIS EARTH, BUT WE ARE IN OUR HEAVENLY FAMILY! SHOULD THIS NOT MAKE US LOVE JESUS EVEN MORE? HE DIDN'T HAVE TO SHARE THESE THINGS WITH US. HE DID IT BECAUSE HE LOVED US! HE WAS WILLING! WE SHOULD BE, TOO!
