Pastor Ty Neal Romans 8:1 If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31-32 “Who delivered up Jesus to die? Not Judas, for money; not Pilate, for fear; not the Jews, for envy —but the Father for love.” Octavius Winslow Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? Romans 8:33Isaiah 50:8-92 Corinthians 5:21 Who is to condemn? Romans 8:342 Timothy 4:12 Corinthians 5:21Romans 8:1Romans 8:34 “It is a consoling thought that Christ is praying for us, even when we are negligent in our prayer life; that He is presenting to the Father those spiritual needs which were not present to our minds and which we often neglect to include in our prayers; and that He prays for our protection against the dangers of which we are not even conscious, and against the enemies which threaten us, though we do not notice it. He is praying that our faith may not cease, and that we may come out victoriously in the end.” Louis Berkhof “If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.” Robert Murray M’Cheyne Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Romans 8:35-37 Chrysostom replied, "Thou cannot banish me for this world is my Father's house." "But I will slay thee," said the emperor. "Nay, thou cannot," said the noble champion of the faith, "for my life is hid with Christ in God." "I will take away your treasures" replied the emperor. "Nay, but thou cannot for my treasure is in heaven and my heart is there." "But I will drive you away from man and you shall have no friend left." "Nay, thou cannot for I have a friend in heaven from whom you cannot separate me. I defy thee, for there is nothing that thou can do to hurt me." Romans 8:38-39 New to Grace Point Church?

Pastor Tim Fraiser Romans 8:28 We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.

Speaker Allen Stansberry Romans 8:28 “First, we tend to see our troubles as evidence that God has left us, instead of asking how God is working in and through them for our good, as he promises to (Romans 8:28). Second, we are often waiting for God to do something to us or for us, or wondering why he doesn’t use someone to bring help. We essentially say: Lord, why don’t you remove this problem? instead of saying: Lord, please make me the person who can handle this problem.”Timothy Keller Regardless of the obstacles we face, God is continuously shaping our lives in accordance with His divine purpose. John 14:15 Loving God is about cultivating a deep and meaningful relationship with Him andseeking to live a life that reflects that love in thoughts, words, and actions. Even in our darkest moments of life, God is at work. The ultimate goal of a Christian’s life is not to avoid suffering at all costs but to become more like Christ. Romans 5:3-52 Corinthians 4:17–18 God’s definition of good often transcends our immediate comfort, extends to ourspiritual growth and conformity to Christ. Understanding God’s calling on our lives is a deeply significant and transformative aspect of one’s spiritual growth. How can we apply the truths of Romans 8:28 in our daily lives? Trust in God’s Sovereignty Redefine “Good” Seek God’s purpose and calling for your life. Deepen Your Relationship with God Embrace adversity as an opportunity for spiritual growth.

T. Robertson “There is one in heaven, the Son of God, who “intercedes on our behalf,” defending us from all charges that might be brought against us, guaranteeing our salvation in the day of judgment. But there is also . . . an intercessor “in the heart,” the Spirit of God, who effectively prays to the Father on our behalf through the difficulties and uncertainties of our lives here on earth.”Douglas Moo New to Grace Point Church?

Hell is hopelessness and it is not for nothing that at the entrance of Dante’s hell there stands the words: ‘Abandon hope, all you who enter.’”Jürgen Moltmann Colossians 1:5aColossians 1:23 Imagine Christ Finished Work in Creation (Alcorn) “To get a picture of Heaven — which will one day be centered on the New Earth—you don’t need to look up at the clouds; you simply need to look around you and imagine what all this would be like without sin and death and suffering and corruption” Randy Alcorn Imagine Christ Finished Work in You and Others Romans 8:19Matthew 13:431 John 3:1-2 New to Grace Point Church?

Speaker Arjuna Chiguluri Romans 8:12-17 1 – A Battle to Fight (Romans 8:12-13) 2 – Being Sons of God (Romans 8:14-15) 3 – Our Birthrights / Privileges (Romans 8:15-17) 12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him 1 – A Battle to Fight (Romans 8:12-13) Before: We are debtors to the flesh. We are slaves to the deeds of the flesh. We are in the realm of the flesh. Now: We are not debtors to the flesh. We are not slaves to the deeds of the flesh. We are in the realm of the Spirit. 2 – Being Sons of God (Romans 8:14-15) The relation of the Spirit to the sons of God is very much like a shepherd to his sheep. The phrase “sons” or “children” of God is used 4 times (vv. 14, 15, 16, 17). 3 – Our Birthrights / Privileges (Romans 8:15-17) Adoption is a legal transfer from one family into another. “We are not fit for a place in God’s family; the idea of His loving and exalting us sinners as He loves and has exalted the Lord Jesus sounds ludicrous and wild – yet that, and nothing less than that, is what our adoption means.”J .I.

Pastor Tim Fraiser This epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and is truly the purest gospel. It is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but also that he should occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul. We can never read it or ponder over it too much, for the more we deal with it, the more precious it becomes and the better it tastes. Martin Luther Romans 8:1Romans 8:9Romans 8:5-8 The “5-Selfs” Self-will (I want my will to be done) Self-glory (I get the credit) Self-gratification (My pleasure comes first) Self-righteousness (I’m good enough on my own) Self-sufficiency (I can fix this myself) Romans 8:9-10Proverbs 20:291 Tim 5:1-2Proverbs 16:31Job 12:12 The young no longer need the old for information. They are needed for theirinterpretation. The young need the old to make sense of what is happeningaround them.Tim Elmore 2 Corinthians 4:16Romans 8:11Ephesians 5:18-20 New to Grace Point Church?

Romans 8:4 “We are set free from the law as a way of acceptance, but obliged to keep it as a way of holiness. It is as a ground of justification that the law no longer binds us … But as a standard of conduct the law is still binding, and we seek to fulfill it as we walk according to the Spirit.”John Stott To run and work the law commands,Yet gives me neither feet or hands;But better news the gospel brings:It bids me fly, and gives me wings. Matthew 22:37-40Mark 9:23-24 “Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself? Take those thoughts that come to you the moment you wake up in the morning. You have not originated them but they are talking to you, they bring back the problems of yesterday, etc. Somebody is talking. Who is talking to you?

Pastor Ty Neal “A saint is not someone who is good but who experiences the goodness of God.”Thomas Merton Romans 7:13-14 “If we resist the Bible, our only remaining basis for truth is our feelings and/or popular opinion. That’s a dangerous place to be.”Scott Sauls Romans 7:14-16 “When I get honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and suspicious. I am honest and I still play games.

Romans 7:1-3 “No, never divorce. Murder, yes.
