Sermon Notes:
REVIVAL THROUGH ROMANS…FUTURE GLORY FAR OUTWEIGHS PRESENT SUFFERING FOR CHRIST
Romans 8:18 ESV
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
CREATION GROANS AS IT WAITS FOR GLORY
Romans 8:19-22 ESV
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. [20] For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope [21] that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. [22] For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.
CHRIST-FOLLOWERS GROAN AS WE WAIT FOR GLORY
Romans 8:23 ESV
And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
FOR SURE…THERE IS GROANING WHILE WAITING FOR GLORY…BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE…FUTURE GLORY FAR OUTWEIGHS PRESENT SUFFERING FOR CHRIST.
