Holy Week Afterthoughts
Romans 8:31-39
1. God is for us, v. 31
Romans 1:1-7
2. The Cross is an indication of God’s posture towards us, v. 32
”graciously”- to freely give and to give generously
3. God’s mind about me is unchangeable, v. 33-34a
“There is unspeakable comfort – the sort of comfort that energizes, be it said, not enervates – in knowing that God is constantly taking knowledge of me in love and watching over me for my good. There is tremendous relief in knowing that his love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench his determination to bless me.” - J.I. Packer, Knowing God
4. Robust theology is helpful, v. 33b-34
The accomplishments of Christ...
a) crucifixion- “Christ Jesus is the one who died"
b) resurrection- “more than that, who was raised”
c) ascension- “who is at the right hand of God”
d) intercession- “who is interceding for us”
5. God will never not love me, v. 35
Mental worship…
1. Do you believe that God is for you?
2. When is the last time you experienced God’s graciousness?
3. Do you ever wonder what Jesus is praying for you?
4. How does hardship affect the way you think about God?
5. What question is your soul asking as a result of what you heard today?
