As we continue in our series, “If God Is for Us,” we will learn some more about the work of the Spirit within us. What does it mean to grow in our relationship with God? As I thought about our passage this week, it struck me that being a Christian is harder than we think, but better than we expected. Paul warns about the deadly way our sin nature can take us and how we need to put that nature to death. He likewise celebrates what it means to truly know God as our Father and be heirs of a better future. Come embracing the challenge to grow deeper in God.
