Consequences of the Christ – 6
Chosen, Called, Justified, Glorified
Living a Supernatural Life = Living life in the presence of God.
Making decisions, planning, remembering, learning, growing all in the presence of God.
Past hurts remembered in the presence of God turn into our greatest strengths.
Naturally hurts get us down. Supernaturally they become our biggest potential.
No condemnation -> No Separation with no failure in between.

Romans 8:30 (NLT)
And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.
Chosen -> Called -> Justified -> Glorified

Romans 8:21 – Delivered
…because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of [f]corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Justified:
Romans 8:23 – Aligned
Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Romans 8:24 – Divine Faith (Hope)
For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

Made Holy:
Romans 8:26-27 – Promises
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [g]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God
The Holy Spirit never gossips about you. He always thinks you are pretty amazing and always speaks well of you.

CONCLUSION:
His love does supernatural things to us! Romans 8:35-38
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
