Putting it All Together

Truth must be spoken and lived, understood and practiced. Knowing the science of balance is one thing, riding a bicycle is another. Paul outlines the facts of the gospel in Romans 1-4, but he then speaks of the power of the gospel in us, chapters 5-8. Today, Dr. John reviews the effect of this good news in the lives and actions of believers.

The Security of the Believer

A toddler in the arms of their parent may hold tightly, afraid of falling on steep declines or across busy roads. They think that security is in their grip on mom or dad.

Believer’s Groaning

Ice cream parlours often allow you to sample a flavour before you buy. That does two things. It assures you that you’ll enjoy the flavour, but it also heightens your desire to buy.

Creation’s Groaning

The redemption found in Jesus Christ covers all of creation. Even as the whole of creation was stained by sin, so the whole of creation looks to the renewal of God in Jesus. Dr. John reminds us that the efforts of man to prevent and renew the ecology fall short. God Himself will make the earth and all creation exactly as He intended – all for His glory.

Since that is true, if our present sufferings are real, how great the coming glory must be!
