No Condemnation

Well let me invite you now please to take a Bible in hand and turn to Romans chapter 8; Romans chapter 8. We are beginning a new series working our way through this great chapter. As I thought about what might speak comfort and encouragement to our hearts during this strange, uncertain time, it seemed to me there are very few places in Scripture that offer more help to us than the eighth of Romans. It is rightly beloved because it surveys, doesn’t it, the entire landscape of Christian blessing - from our justification, as we’ll see today, our right-standing with God, through sanctification and adoption, to glorification and on even to consider the new creation at the end of the ages. Here in Romans 8 our drooping heads are lifted, our fearful hearts are comforted, our doubting minds are assured, and we are reminded of the riches that are ours forever in the Lord Jesus Christ.
