Romans 8:19-30/Determination of God
May 29th 2011 20:22
We have moved on to Romans 8:19-30 today. Let's continue our study. Take a moment to read the selected scripture and let's get to picking it apart and learning from the word.
Verses 19-22 The groaning of creation: pain is everywhere because of sin.
Verses 23-25 The groaning of the Christian: sin should make us cringe. We should not tolerate it but condemn it and look forward to eternity with God.
Verses 26-27 The groaning of the Holy Spirit: This is the Comforter, the one who sustains us and intercedes.
Now we see the determination of God's promise in verses 28-30:
“all things” = completeness
“work for good” = the cause
“those who LOVE God” = the condition
and finally the consequence= to shape us and make us into what we were predestined for living according to His will.
Now we see the determination of God's purpose:
His Omniscience: based in the election of God.
His Omnipotence: based in the foreknowledge of God.
