'Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “ Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. '

Amen! Thank you, Lord, for saving us so that we are no longer condemned!! We no longer have to walk around in guilt, shame, or fear because Jesus paid our redemption and made us right with the Father! There is no guilt or shame in His Kingdom!!! Hallelujah!!! Our pasts are forgiven and forgotten and through faith in Jesus Christ, we inherit a new beginning and can walk by the Spirit who gives life. We can walk in His righteousness as we forsake the deeds of the flesh. I am so thankful for His Righteousness that makes us right with God. Those of us who receive His Spirit are adopted into His family and we become His sons and daughters!! His Spirit testifies on our behalf that we belong to Him! What an honor!!! Thank You, Lord, for being a good good Father!!
'I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. '

Just as gold is purified in a fire, God uses our sufferings to purify us so that we will reflect Him and bring Him glory. He is glorified when our sufferings produce perseverance, character, faith, and hope in us. Our sufferings are the kiln that burns away all the impurities that keep us from glorifying Him. In our sufferings, we groan inwardly as we wait for His glory to be revealed in us. When we turn to the Father and do not have the words to pray, the Spirit intercedes on our behalf through groanings, but the Father understands every groan, cry, shout, and our speaking in tongues and He brings us breakthrough and peace that surpasses all understanding. Anytime we feel a lack of peace, worry, or any negative emotion and we take it to Him in prayer, He will give us exactly what we need in His presence and use it for good. In fact, praying in the Spirit is powerful, because we can be sure that we are praying His will, and He will answer accordingly. He works all things together for our good and His glory. We can trust Him because His plans are good, and His intentions are pure. He has plans to prosper and not to harm and to give a hope and a future.
As children of God, we also groan inwardly as we wait for Jesus to come back and rapture us into Heaven. That is when our bodies of sin and suffering will be done away with and He will finally be fully glorified in us through our glorified bodies. There will be no more death, dying, or pain!! Hallelujah!!! However, if we are still alive, it is because He is not done with us, yet. He still has things for us to do here. We should live every day to hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” That is why we are still here!
'What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.'

Amen! If God is for us, who can be against us? Who can bring any charge against those whom God has redeemed? It is God who justifies us! Satan is the accuser of the brethren and is tries to condemn us, but Jesus tells him that we belong to Him. He already paid our redemption and canceled all charges against us. Heaven is our home!! Nothing can separate us from His love. He pours out His love on us amid our troubles, persecution, sufferings, etc. He makes us conquerors! He give us victory!! Hallelujah!! He causes all things to work together for good and His glory!!
