Convinced: God Works for our Good

Romans 8:26-30 Sermon Points

The more we reaffirm who we are in the Christ, the more our lives reflect our true identity.

The Spirit of God seals who we are in God. We are God's children, adopted into His family.

Romans 8:26 – ““In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”

Romans 8:28 - “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose.”

To Know = ironclad certainty, convinced

In every situation, good and bad. Christians, those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28 - “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose.”

Good/Blessing = anything that draws us closer into the heart of God, the presence of the Holy Spirit and thus makes us look more like Jesus.

Romans 8:29 - “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.”

There is no greater good than to be like Jesus Christ!

Romans 8:30 - And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.”
