“Rely On God’s Promises”
Romans 8:31-39

Romans 8
It’s here that we find the difference between those who fail in life and those who thrive in life.

We don’t have to stay the same!

	Mindset Matters

“Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what the sinful nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the sinful nature is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” – Romans 8:5-6 

Whatever dominates your thoughts will determine your choices.

Know Better…
	We Gotta Know

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28

So, what do you think?

“If God is for us, who can be against us?” – Romans 8:31

For you…
	Gave up His only son
	Instantly forgives and forgets
	Jesus is constantly bragging about you and pleading for you

Promise #1
	No one can be against you.

People might be against you, but they cannot determine the outcome of your life.

“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone… Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.” – Romans 12:17,19

Promise #2
	Nothing can separate you from God’s love.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven (waiting) for you” – 1 Peter 1:3-4

You may have given up on God, but He hasn’t given up on you.

Promise #3
	Nothing can defeat you.

You may feel defeated, but you are not defeated!

Know Better…
	Rely on God’s promises

“God, because you are for me and you love me so nothing can defeat me, I invite you in my life today (again). My life is yours, so help me, as I follow you, to know all this in my life right now.”
