Romans: The Foundations of Faith“Five Far Reaching Questions”
Romans 8:31-39
Introduction: An Internal Inventory
Protection
Who can be against us?
No opposition can successfully overpower us!
(Romans 8:31)
Provision:
Will He not graciously give us all things?
God’s grace will always supply our needs!
(Romans 8:32)
Acquittal:
Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?
God has already declared us righteous in His sight!
(Romans 8:33)
Freedom:
Who is He that condemns?
Christ’s death and resurrection qualifies Him to advocate for us!
(Romans 8:34)
Security:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus!
(Romans 8:35-39)
Life in the Spirit is a
life that is eternally secure and completely victorious
through God’s everlasting love.
Next Steps
• Begin to live a life of freedom from accusation and condemnation.
• Embrace the spiritual victory that is available to you in the provision of God.

First Love Ministry
First Love Ministry would love your prayers. God has called our small group of women to go into some difficult, yet ripe, places to show His love. We make monthly visits to several of the dance clubs in the Little Rock/North Little Rock area, taking in gifts for each dancer and bodyguard/doorkeeper along with a message of hope and a smile. If you would like to know more about First Love and how you can join us in praying for God to bring His Kingdom into these dark places, contact Marcee Watkins, Casey Thurow, Alicia Gough, or Anna Wanamaker.
