Ep 96 – Romans 8:18-30

God saved us and one day He is going to glorify us. But what are we supposed to do in the meantime? That's the topic of the next section of Romans chapter eight. In verses 18-30 Paul will deal with our future glory and our present suffering. He'll juxtapose our eternal life to come with the life we are called to live in the meantime. During this phase of our journey, we will experience His sanctifying work in our lives, but it will take place along with the ever-present reality of sin and suffering. But once again, Paul will remind us that we have been given the Spirit of God to help us in our weaknesses and to intercede on our behalf with "groanings too deep for words." And finally, Paul will leave us with those comforting, yet sometimes difficult to believe words, "all things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose."
