Greatest Chapter in the Bible - Romans 8
Summary of a Sermon by Dwight Moody
Let’s learn from Romans 8.
God has justified us through Christ and forgiven all our sins. No one can bring charges against us. We have advanced from death to eternal life, with the divine life of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. God has become our Father (Romans 8:1, 4, 33; John 5:24, 3:17; Hebrews 8:12).
As God’s children, we now possess joint heirship with Christ, which includes admittance to an everlasting Kingdom and eternal riches. What Christ is, we are; His Father is now our Father (Romans 8:15-16; John 20:17, 14:27, 15:11, 22:29-30).
Don’t pursue desires of the flesh. Doing so is hostile to God and leads to death. Seek satisfaction in spiritual, not worldly, things. Don’t value human knowledge over God’s wisdom. Instead, follow the Spirit, so that we may triumph over sin and bear His fruit (Romans 8:6-8, 10, 11, 13; Galatians 5:19-23).
Love one another. Love breaks down barriers and can lead to reciprocation over time. Love lets others know that we are Christ’s followers (John 13:35).
Stand firm in God’s protection. If God is for us, who can be against us? We will be in the house of the Father with Christ, who had conquered the Satan (Romans 8:31).
God hears our prayers. There’s no request too great for Him. If God the Father freely gave us His only son, how would He not also give us all things? (Romans 8:32)
Do not fear hardship. On the contrary, be wary of prosperity, which can lull us away from God. Adversities in the life of Paul, Joseph, and Daniel brought blessings to many. Remember that God can use all things, including tribulation and famine, for the good of those who love Him. Eternal glory outweighs today’s suffering, for redemption is near (Romans 8:28).
Our glory is ahead. We shall be like Christ and appear with Christ in glory. Death is just a gateway to immortality and glorious resurrection, with no more sorrow and sighing (Colossians 3:4; 1 John 3:2; Isaiah 35:10).
Nothing can separate us from God’s love through Christ (Romans 8:35). Let us live in light of that love.
