some days in Romans 8


 

The next few days we will examine some of Romans 8 and how God gives us the truth of how He has changed out lives.  These verses dig in deep.


Deep in to our conviction fueling our confidence.  Deep in to our minds removing the lies and distractions from our enemy.  Deep in to our futures with what God has already settled for each of us who know Him.


Read on and note what sticks out for you.


Romans 8:1-2  NLT  

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. 


Condemnation is something that we have to deal with.  Just living in and out of each day we will come across the struggles and even the battles that leave us scared and beaten down by condemnation.  So how is it gone or thrown out?


It is by the grace and goodness of God that we are forgiven of our sins and destined for real freedom.  Freedom us the gift that God’s spirit brings to us.


Literally this freedom is life.  Instead of bondage or slavery that is lasting freedom from the power our sin so that we can enjoy the life giving truth of God.  Go another step forward.


Romans 8:14  NLT  

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.


Because we are the children of God there are some things that are true about us.  These things will change our hearts and minds, our thinking and our acting, our outlook and passions.


We have the ability to get past the pain and live in freedom.  We have the blessing to let go of our sin and live each day to the fullest that freedom will allow.  Follow the spirit because that is where our best gifts and amazing future will be found.


In Christ there is no more condemnation.  And for that truth from Romans 8 I am grateful!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
