Paul reminds us that it is by the Spirit you have been freed from your sinful flesh, found as adopted sons of God whom you now call Abba! Father!, and have been made co-heirs with Christ by the fellowship of his suffering for the fruit of eternal glory with him.

What does it mean that neither death nor life separates us from the love of God? What is the meaning of Romans 8:38?

Romans 8:1–11 | Pastor Ed No Condemnation In this powerful study from Romans 8, Pastor Ed unpacks one of the most freeing truths in Scripture: there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We learn that through Jesus, we are justified (“just as if we'd never sinned”), sanctified (set apart and changed over time), and one day glorified—given new resurrection bodies. Pastor Ed explains how walking in the Spirit, rather than the flesh, brings true freedom and life. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live the life God designed for us, changing our desires and giving us the strength to love God and others. - Ed Rea - Sunday, July 6, 2025

Hope for the Hopeless and Prayer for the Prayerless (Romans 8:26–30) - Dr. Bill Cook

Pastor Andrew Banker delivered a deeply personal and theologically rich message rooted in Romans 8:1–17, emphasizing our identity in Christ as adopted sons and daughters of God. Sharing from his family's journey through foster care and adoption, Andrew illustrated the transforming power of God's love and how it redefines us. He began by recounting how his family, including five biological and foster children, embraced the call to foster care. Their decision to adopt a Guatemalan baby boy, Elias, was framed not just as an act of love, but as a spiritual metaphor for how God adopts us. Andrew described the day in court when Elias's legal documents were changed—his name, identity, and parental records now fully under Andrew and his wife, Savannah. This experience mirrored what happens spiritually when we accept Christ: we receive a new name, a new identity, and full inheritance as God's children. Andrew taught that this adoption means we are no longer slaves to sin or fear, but children and heirs of God. He noted that in Roman culture, adoption was a powerful legal act—more binding and honorable than even biological inheritance. Paul's use of adoption language in Romans would have had immense significance to his audience. The second point focused on transformation. Once adopted, our desires begin to shift. Citing Romans 8:5, Andrew explained that those who live by the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. This change is not manufactured by effort but occurs naturally as we spend time with our heavenly Father. He used the analogy of coffee—how deeper understanding leads to new appreciation—to show how knowledge and relationship with God lead to changed desires. Andrew then illustrated how trauma and brokenness are not disqualifiers from God's love. Quoting testimonies and referencing stories of abuse and sin, he stressed that God says “I'll take that one”—the wounded, the addicted, the insecure. No past sin or present struggle can separate us from God's love. In Christ, our old record is erased, and a new life begins. Finally, Andrew emphasized that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in believers. This power equips us for a new life filled with hope, identity, and joy. He likened this to giving a child a bicycle—while there may be falls and pain, the ride is worth it, and the Father is always there to guide, protect, and lift us. Discussion Questions Adoption Identity What does it mean to be spiritually adopted by God? How might your life look different if you truly lived out of that identity? Changed Desires What old desires do you struggle with that reflect the “flesh” instead of the Spirit? How can time with God reshape those desires? New Life in Christ Where in your life have you experienced the “new life” Jesus offers? What are some areas where you still need to trust in that transformation? Living Like Sons and Daughters Do you relate to God more like a child or like a worker trying to earn approval? What can you do this week to rest more fully in being God's beloved child? Engagement with Others How might understanding your spiritual adoption empower you to engage with others who feel unworthy or unloved?

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comRomans 8 There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, as the Spirit frees believers from the law of sin and death. What the law could not do, Christ accomplished by condemning sin through His sacrifice. In reverence to Jesus, believers turn away from a life in the flesh, which leads to death. Instead, they embrace life in the Spirit, which brings peace and righteousness. The Spirit empowers believers to overcome sin and affirms their adoption as God's children, assisting them in their times of weakness and granting them the hope of sharing in Christ's glory. Suffering in this life is temporary and incomparable to the glory that is to come. From now through eternity, nothing can separate Christians from the love of God, “which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  We must live with confidence and hope in Christ. We are no longer condemned because the Spirit frees us from sin and guides us into righteousness. This means we should not accept the sins of the flesh in our lives but rather seek to walk in holiness daily, being led by the Spirit of God. Our identity as God's children assures us of His love and gives us hope amid suffering. Life's trials are temporary compared to the eternal glory we will share with Christ. We can confront challenges knowing that God is working all things for the good of those who love Him. And God's love through Christ will never fail us, abiding in life and beyond death.  Heavenly Father, thank You for freedom from condemnation in Your Son. Thank You for the Holy Spirit, who gives life and guides us toward greater faithfulness to You. Help us never to quench the Spirit but to read His revelations daily and embody His fruit in our lives. We resolve each day to focus on spiritual matters and to flee the temptations of the flesh. We also ask for Your forgiveness when we stumble. We love You and know that hope is found only in You. Thank You for Your limitless love and for sustaining us during life's many trials. Thought Questions: -       What does living according to the Spirit rather than the flesh mean, and how do you initiate that decision every morning? -       How does the promise that “all things work together for good” shape your understanding of hardships and suffering? -       Do you “overwhelmingly conquer” through Him who loves you? What does that look like in practical terms and daily living?
