Parables/ Romans 8 And Romans Outline Flashcards
Write out Philippians 4:13 (also known as the 10-finger prayer)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
Why does the start of Chapter 8 conclude that “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”?
Because through the gift of the Holy Spirit we are now able to use it to connect with Jesus and defeat sin (we would have been condemned if we were able to defeat sin on our own without the death & resurrection and subsequent power of the Holy Spirit)
Why is life by the Spirit described as being “set free”?
Set free from being slaves to the power of sin
Humans who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what?
gratifying the desires of our selfish viewpoint
Humans who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on what?
pursuing what God has for our lives
Why is Romans 8:8 a factual statement “those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God”?
because if you are focused on yourself, you cannot see the bigger plan God has for the moments of your life
What is the obligation in Romans 8:12 “Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation…”
We have the responsibility to identify our gifts, then sharpen those gifts, and then use those gifts for the needs of the age
Why does Romans 8:15 state that living by the sinful nature will result in having a “spirit of fear”?
We will be in constant competition/comparison with ourselves and others which results in “fear” of not measuring up or being knocked down
Why does Romans 8:17 describe us as “co-heirs” with Jesus?
As children of God, we are brothers and sisters of God’s Son – Jesus Christ
What is the significance of Romans 8:18 “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us”?
With eyes on eternity, any given struggle or problem isn’t worth
worrying or complaining about
How does the Spirit help us in our weakness, especially in prayer?
The Holy Spirit provides us words, strength, understanding, etc. when we are unable to understand and/or express what we are going through in our own words
Explain why we are placing our hope in the glory of God?
Because no matter what the circumstances may be, we have faith that God knows the way – which gives us HOPE that no matter what, all we need to do is seek Him and allow His wisdom to work through us.

In Christ, we have ALREADY conquered ALL situations, not only the ones we see ourselves in, but the ones we don’t even know we are going to encounter
