Verse by Verse Week 3: We are Sons and Daughters of the Living God
Ben Foote—Guest Teacher
Galatians 3:26 (ESV)
Romans 8:12 (ESV)
Romans 8:1 (ESV)
Romans 8:14 (ESV)
Romans 8:13 (ESV)
If you are continually living according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you are continually putting to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
What is one of the ways you can be ASSURED that you’re a son or daughter of the living God? You can be assured if… you’re trying your best to put up a good fight against your own sinful nature. That, alone, is evidence of the Spirit at work in your life.
Romans 7:18-19 (ESV)
Romans 21-25 (ESV)
The gospel is NOT that you need to be perfect on your own power. Instead, the Gospel is that you need to be forgiven by someone’s else’s power.
Romans 8:15 (ESV)
Romans 8:16 (ESV)
Romans 8:17 (ESV)
A healing prayer to fight rejection:
(Your name), how could I give you up? My heart turns against it. When you were a child, I loved you. I myself taught you to walk. I took you in my arms. Yet you have not understood that I was the one looking after you.
I led you with reins of kindness, with leading-strings of love. I was like someone who lifts an infant close against his cheek; stooping down to you I have given you food.
How could I treat you or deal with you like an enemy? My heart recoils from it, my whole being trembles at the thought. For I am God, not man: I am the holy one in your midst and have no wish to destroy.
