True Identity v 2

A chapter of the Bible that helped me become the man I am today, by the grace of God, is Romans 8. I call it the Great 8.

Some say it is Paul’s greatest work

Romans greets 26 people in it.

Paul speaks to about 3-4 million people it at its writing.

Romans is filled with powerful truths about

Redemption,

Salvation,

Sanctification

Justinian

Faith,

Deliverance,

These words appear at least 60 times in Romans

Righteousness

Faith

Law

Sin

All

Apostle Paul, its author, was ready to preach the Gospel fully (Rom. 1:15; Rom 15:19)

Romans 1:15 NKJV

So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

Romans 15:19 NKJV

in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Overcoming Attitude

Romans 8:31–34 NKJV

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Overcoming Attitude

Attitude affects outcome

Attitude determines altitude

Who dares bring a charge?

ILL - WHATEVER IT TAKES. WHATEVER IT COSTS.

Overwhelming Love

Romans 8:35–37 NKJV

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

7 times - God's perfection

illustration - More than conquerors

Overpowering Confidence

Romans 8:38–39 NKJV

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

10 things - God's divine rule and authority

Jesus TRIUMPHED over Satan

Persuaded people don't pay it safe

WHATEVER IT TAKES. WHATEVER IT COSTS.

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS.
