Pastor Josh continues teaching us from Romans 8 this morning:
“This completes the logic of Romans 8: those who have the Spirit (v.4) will walk according to the Spirit. They will (v.5) set their minds on the things of the Spirit. They will (v.13) put to death the deeds of the body [and] live...If the Spirit of God himself prays that we will be conformed to the image of Christ, and the Father, (v.27) who knows what is the mind of the Spirit, has determined (v.28) to work together with the Spirit to work all things towards this good, we know (v.29) that we will be conformed to the image of his Son, because God has predestined it, and (v.30) “those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.” What an incredible hope we have then, in the midst of requisite suffering, that we know that if we suffer for the sake of Christ, we can be confident that the calling, election, and the both present and eternal inheritance of glory is also ours in Christ Jesus.”
