WEEK 4 (15): CHAPTER 8, VERSE 12-17

Roamin'

In our fourth week in Romans 8, Paul Morrison (Chaplain of the West Coast Eagles, breakfast announcer on 98five and a partner with the Big Table) ponders the goodness of a good, good Father, who adopts us into His family and puts fear and performance in their proper place while crowning us heirs of a Kingdom under His reign and rule.

¹² Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. ¹³ 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.

¹⁴ For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. ¹⁵ 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.” ¹⁶ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. ¹⁷ 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.
