Romans 8: 26-39
God is worthy of our praise, not only
for who He is, but what He has done and is doing in our lives. Consider these acts of God that create a
spirit of thanksgiving and praise.
God does not demand
praise, but invokes praise from the hearts of His children.
P RAYER interpreted by the Spirit v.26-27
Real communication
involves the transfer of feelings as well as facts.
To say you don’t
know how to pray is like saying you don’t know how to feel.
What we ignore, the
Spirit ignites. What we keep in
the dark, the Spirit illuminates.
R IGHTEOUSNESS given through his
plan v.28-30
God saves us with an
effectual call.
God saves us for His
purpose.
Just as I was not made
right with God by my works I am not kept right with God by my works.
A SSURANCE found in His power v.31
No individual can
prove himself worthy of a savior.
We ARE all sinners…not WERE all sinners.
The ones who pride
themselves on their religious works and morality may do so at the cost
of Praise.
I NHERITANCE received through His
grace v.32
The same God that
has secured a heavenly place has provided an earthly peace. It is
ours because we are His.
S ALVATION secured by His Son v.33-34
When faith is questioned,
point to the cross and an empty grave.
E TERNITY possessed by His
victorious love v.35-39
You cannot stop God from seeking to save
you until you can stop Him from loving you.
