In our 6th and final study here in Romans 8, the Apostle Paul just shuts the door and slaps a titanium padlock on our eternal security in Christ. Closing the Chapter in a stunning paean of praise, Paul dismantles any and all remaining objections to our security in Christ. Debates over Christian [...]
Peter tells us in 2nd Peter 1, that the security we have in salvation has a direct impact upon our Christian growth. Well here in Romans 8 and verses 28 to 30, perhaps nowhere in the Bible is our security so forcefully and profoundly set forth as it is here, and it [...]
We continue this week into the remarkable security the Holy Spirit provides for the believer in sanctification. The Father planned for your glory, the Son provided for your glory, and the Holy Spirit protects and secures your glory. Even when you don’t know how to pray, even when you don’t understand, the [...]
The Apostle Paul tells us that the sufferings of the present time, while part and parcel to our sanctification, are in no way even worthy to be compared to the weight of eternal glory - that those same sufferings play a part in producing. This week Paul applies the spectacular truths about [...]

Paul brings his entire teaching on justification and sanctification now to this incredibly stunning assertion - “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” So remarkable is [...]
In one of the most celebrated passages in the book of Romans, Paul expresses for us in Chapter 7 the absolute futility of having an ongoing relationship with the Lord that is predicated upon self-effort. If having been saved freely by grace, the justified Christian begins to try and seek holiness and [...]
Jesus tells His disciples in the upper room discourse that He has left us with His PEACE, and that His Word has been given to us that our JOY would be made full. If you are a believer, the Bible is telling us there is a supernatural peace and joy that are [...]
If you’re looking for a more precise theological explanation of what happened to you when you trusted Jesus, you cannot get any more precise than what’s set forth in Romans Chapter 6. The moment you trusted Christ, God reconstituted your entire spiritual being and poured you into a spiritual mold shaped by [...]
