The Lens That Changes Everything
So much of the Bible will be incomplete or misinterpreted if it is not read through the lens of Romans 8 Romans 8:15-16 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s…
Romans 8 Part 4: How Come Jesus Didn’t Have Original Sin?
Autonomy is choosing exposure over protection. Romans 8:3 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control…
Where the Law Failed
The law could command obedience, but only God could empower it. Romans 8:2-4 – And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the…

Protecting the Heart from Itself!
A heart that demands the throne cannot be trusted with it. Romans 7:15-Romans 8:2, 7-8 – I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does…
The Loud Heart & Spiritual Liability
The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom will escape. Proverbs 28:26 – Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe.
Complaining Isn’t All That Bad, Is It?
Complaint is pride using pain as a weapon — lament is humility surrendering that pain to God. Psalm 42-43
