Day 35 is ready, and today’s lesson is among the most tender and gospel-rich we have covered in this entire study.
Romans 8:14-17 takes us into territory that many believers know about in their heads but might not have fully inhabited in their hearts. Paul draws a sharp contrast between two ways of living in God’s house, one marked by performance and fear, the other by intimacy and security. And then he points us to something in the gospel that changes everything: the very word we are given to cry out to God, Abba, Father, is the word Jesus surrendered at the cross so that we could have it forever.
If you are new to this Substack, welcome. We are currently on Day 35 of a 40-day journey through Romans 6, 7, and 8. We will be wrapping up in just a few days, and we plan to run this study again in the future. We would love for you to be part of it from the beginning next time. In the meantime, all previous lessons are available in the archive if you would like to catch up or simply explore what we have been studying together.
