Thoughts After the Sermon, “God’s Adoption Plan for Eternity to Come” Romans 8:18-30
by Vermon Pierre, Lead Pastor
Some reminders and further thoughts from last Sunday’s sermon, “God’s Adoption Plan for Eternity to Come” Romans 8:18-30:
1. All creation is looking forward to and depending on the adoption of Christian believers as sons of God. All the renewing glory that our world is meant to experience will come in the wake of God fully completing his plan to adopt us into his family.
2. The Holy Spirit will help us along the way to that final reality. The Holy Spirit has been given to us to encourage, motivate, remind, and even pray for us as we travel towards eternity. Prayer is an especially important way the Spirit helps us, since prayer helps us to address and overcome the anxieties of life we must face before we reach the end of our journey (Philippians 4:6-7).
3. God himself serves as the guarantee that we will reach the end of the journey and live forever with our Father God in a renewed cosmos. God choose us for himself since the beginning of time, intending to adopt us and make us like Jesus. This is God’s plan. He has ensured this plan and he will most certainly complete his plan.
