Last Sunday morning the clock on the wall shouted out, “You’re done!” But, I was only halfway through what God had laid upon my heart to share, so let me finish it this morning. We have been talking about the “Benefits of the Indwelling Holy Spirit” and I shared two things last Sunday: 1). We have a new family relationship! (vs. 14-17a), and 2). We have an incredible inheritance! (vs. 7b). But there is more: We have a hope, and we have a new prayer helper. Come with me to unpack these truths.

Overwhelming Conquerers in Christ

I. Let’s Review: In our last message in Romans 8 we began “unpacking” the phrase “called according to His purpose” by examining the five foundational words in verses 29 & 30. We noticed four important things: a. The “for” at the beginning of verse 29 introduces an explanation. b. Even though our CALL is Paul’s focus, he wants us to know that there are two things that happen BEFORE the call and two things that happen AFTER the call. c. Before the CALL God “foreknew” and He “predestined”. d. All of the actions described in these five words are by God’s initiative, NOT OURS!

I. Setting the Stage: Verse 29 begins an explanation. The three letter word, “for” (Greek at the beginning of verse 29 is an explanatory particle. In verses 29-30 he develops more fully the phrase, “called according to His purpose.” He answers the “how” and “why” of our call.
