#92 | What Then Shall We Say? | Romans 8:31 | The Great 8

Have you ever read something so incredible that you just sat there... speechless?That's exactly where Paul is in Romans 8:31. After eight chapters of unpacking our sin, God's grace, justification, the Holy Spirit, adoption, suffering, assurance, and God's sovereignty, he pauses and asks one simple question:"What then are we to say about these things?"It's not just a transition. It's an invitation.Paul isn't asking what we should do first. He's asking what we should say. Because before the gospel transforms your behavior, it transforms your perspective. Romans 8 isn't merely information to understand—it's truth that should leave us in awe of the God who saved us. Too often we become so familiar with grace that we stop marveling at it. We know the verses. We know the theology. But we've lost the wonder. Paul reminds us that healthy theology always produces heartfelt worship. The more you understand the gospel, the more amazed you become by Jesus.In this episode, we unpack three powerful responses to God's grace:1. Remember What God Has Done — Never lose your wonder. Gratitude grows wherever remembrance lives. Don't forget where Jesus found you or what He rescued you from.2. Respond With Worship — The goal of theology isn't simply to make you smarter. It's to make you surrender. Truth should always move your heart toward worship.3. Rest In What God Has Said — Your confidence isn't built on your circumstances. It's built on God's unchanging character. When life gets loud, preach the gospel to yourself.Ultimately, everything Paul has written points to Jesus. He removed our condemnation. He fulfilled the Law. He sent the Spirit. He adopted us into God's family. He secured our future. The gospel isn't merely something to believe.It's Someone to adore.Final Application:When was the last time you intentionally remembered what Jesus saved you from?Has your relationship with Jesus become routine instead of remarkable?What truth from Romans 8 do you need to preach to yourself today?Because don't become so familiar with the gospel...that you stop being floored by it.Send us Fan MailBook Derek Griffon to Speak at your next event https://www.derekgriffon.com/invite
