WE ARE IGNORANT BUT GRATEFUL!

ROMANS 8:26-33

Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities (our limited understanding of God's will - see Isa. 55:8-9):  for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:  but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  And He Who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.  For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestine to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brethren (born again children of God).  Moreover whom He did predestine, them He also called:  and whom He called, them He also justified (declared righteous):  and whom He justified, them He also glorified (we are no longer mere sinners who fall short of the glory of God - see Rom. 3:23).  What shall we then say to these things?  If God be for us, who can be against us (who can overcome us)?  He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?  Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect (who shall convict us of sin)?  It is God that justifies (declares us righteous - see 2 Cor. 5:21).

APART FROM GOD'S WORK ON OUR BEHALF,

WE ARE SINNERS DOOMED FOREVER!

JESUS BECAME SIN FOR US SO THAT WE COULD

BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM!

WITH FAITH IN GOD'S WORK ON OUR BEHALF,

WE ARE HIS CHILDREN FOR ALL ETERNITY!
