Each of us have a perspective on life that might be different based on our stories. How we respond to others around us is often filtered through these seasons that we've walked in. If we are walking in our own strength, we can even sometimes start measuring how good we are by how bad we think someone else is.  

If you have joined us for this series of Romans, you know that it is true that all of us have sinned and fallen short yet we can place our faith in Jesus and find no condemnation because He has conquered the most important thing: death. Everything else is less. This perspective changes everything. It changes the way we think, the way we approach our hurts and fears, and the way we respond to others. What is in us that causes us still to hope and seek first His Kingdom? It's this one important phrase: "if God is for us, who can be against us?"
