(If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. 24 We were given this hope when we were saved.
#Romans 8 the living bible full
We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. 23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. 22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.

20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. 19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. The Future Gloryġ8 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory.

17 And since we are his children, we are his heirs. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” 16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.ġ5 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. 13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.ġ2 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. 11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) 10 And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. 8 That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.ĩ But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. 7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God.

But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. 4 He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.ĥ Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. 3 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. 2 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. 8 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
