Romans 8: 17-39 More than conquering?

Romans 8:18 Suffering? I know it's hard when your actually suffering to think about our reward, "the glory that shall be revealed in us", but sometimes it gets so bad we need something to hang our hope on. What we're going through now is not even "worthy to be compared with" what God has for us later. Sweet.

Romans 8:20-23 Why ask why? What a great slogan for Bubweiser, one we should consider after reading: "For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope." Don't worry, be happy. God has a plan, it's perfect, and we don't need to know what it is, just enjoy the journey with Him, with hope. What hope? Romans 8:28 "Now we are aware that God is working all together for the good of those who are loving God," (CLNT) One of my favorite scriptures.

Romans 8:29-30 Paul goes on to explain what He's up to in verse 28. Is verse 28 for everybody? No. It's for those who are loving God because they are called. He knew us beforehand, predestined us, called us, justified us, and will glorify us. This is called God's sovereignty. You say, Matt, how do you know I have been predestined? How do you know He had a plan for me before the sperm met the egg? Because, you wouldn't be reading this if God wasn't calling you. He's peaked your interest. You have a desire birthing inside you. Sorry, you can't get out of it either, but why would you want to? LISTEN TO THIS:

Romans 8:31 "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Romans 8:32 "how shall He not with Jesus also freely give us all things?
Romans 8:35 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?"
Romans 8:37 "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
Romans 8:39 Absolutely nothing "shall be able to seperate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord".

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.
