Living with ‘If’ – Living with Regret

2021 July 4th Streaming

Romans chapter 8 is one of the most impactful chapters in the Bible. If I could spend my life in only one chapter of the Bible, Romans chapter 8 would be the one. It is layers upon layers of the spiritual revelation, revealing the purpose, the intent, and the plan for God’s spiritual sons. To take any verse in chapter 8 outside of the context of spiritual sonship is to strip the meaning and revelation right out of it.

Too many believers see Romans chapter 8 in two dimensions – just words on a page. When in truth, Romans chapter 8 is four-dimensional, taking us beyond time, space and matter. It is entirely spiritual; and yet, believers merely see it from a temporal perspective. There are very few verses that have been taken more out of the context of spiritual sonship than the first half of Romans 8:28 28And we know that all things work together for good …..

According to Biblestudytools, Romans 8:28 is the third most popular Bible verse in the entire Bible. On the surface, we read and hear that no matter how bad life gets, or no matter how bad we screw up – all things are going to work out OK for us. I could sum up what the world understands about Romans 8:28 with the idiomatic expression – “It’s all good”.

I would like for you to join me Sunday as I discuss Romans 8:28 and the purpose of God.
