Encouragement that God hears our prayers
Romans 8
- For all those led by God’s Spirit are God’s children.
- For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “‘Abba’, Father! ”
- The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God
- In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness,
because we do not know what to pray for as we should,
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with wordless sighs/groans. - And he who searches hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because according to the will of God he intercedes for the saints.
- We know that all things work together for good, for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
- What, then, are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
- He did not even spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. How will he not also with him graciously give us all things? —
- Who is there who condemns? It is Christ who died, and more than that, he was raised, who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.
- Who can separate us from the love of Christ?
