Encouraged in God’s Love ~ Romans 8.31-39
In our daily lives we are pressed by many things. Sometimes we forget the love that God has for His children – The love that God has for you. We hear many messages on how we to get right (and we do), and how to serve (which we do), but here is a reminder of the love that God has given to us THROUGH CHRIST!
31. God is on our side if we have the His Spirit dwelling in us.
Look at Romans 8.1-11
Psalms 118:6 “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”
32. God spared not His Son – that we might be received by the Father
Romans 5:6 “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.”
Romans 5:10 “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life”
33. God has justified His Children
Isaiah 50:8-9 “He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. 9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.”
**We cannot allow Satan to confuse us in our lives. He will bring up our failures and try to defeat us...using our closest family or friends.
34. Through Christ we are able to go to the Father
a. In Christ we cannot be condemned. (John 3.16-18 1 John 2.1)
b. Christ makes intercession for us. (Hebrews 7.25, 9.24)
35. Can anything separate us from the love of God?
a. This I believe is for everyone that has every stepped foot on this earth. Whether they believed it or not. (Romans 5.6, 8)
b. Then when we have accepted Jesus as Saviour it is binding by the Holy Spirit of God. (Ephesians 1.13-14) and will never be taken away. (2 Corinthians 4.7-10)
36. We are dead to ourselves
(1 Corinthians 6.20, 7.23)
2 Timothy 2:21 “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.”
37. We are more than conquerors
a. Here not only do we have the victory – we will never lose! There is no going back (1 John 4.4-6, 5.4, 5)
38-39. Persuaded in the love of God
In our lives we will see many things that the Lord will do for us – non greater that His love. NOTHING CAN SEPARATE HIS LOVE TOWARDS US!
