“Who can accuse the people God has chosen? No one! God is the one who makes them right.
Who can say that God’s people are guilty? No one! Christ Jesus died for us, but that is not all. He was also raised from death. And now he is at God’s right side, speaking to him for us.”

“So what should we say about this? If God is for us, no one can stand against us. And God is with us.
He even let his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for all of us. So now with Jesus, God will surely give us all things.”

“We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan.
God knew them before he made the world. And he decided that they would be like his Son. Then Jesus would be the firstborn of many brothers and sisters.
God planned for them to be like his Son. He chose them and made them right with him. And after he made them right, he gave them his glory.”

“Also, the Spirit helps us. We are very weak, but the Spirit helps us with our weakness. We don’t know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself speaks to God for us. He begs God for us, speaking to him with feelings too deep for words.
God already knows our deepest thoughts. And he understands what the Spirit is saying, because the Spirit speaks for his people in the way that agrees with what God wants.”

“Not only the world, but we also have been waiting with pain inside us. We have the Spirit as the first part of God’s promise. So we are waiting for God to finish making us his own children. I mean we are waiting for our bodies to be made free.
We were saved to have this hope. If we can see what we are waiting for, that is not really hope. People don’t hope for something they already have.
But we are hoping for something we don’t have yet, and we are waiting for it patiently.”

“We have sufferings now, but these are nothing compared to the great glory that will be given to us.”
https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.8.18.ERV
“The Spirit that we received is not a spirit that makes us slaves again and causes us to fear. The Spirit that we have makes us God’s chosen children. And with that Spirit we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
And the Spirit himself speaks to our spirits and makes us sure that we are God’s children.
If we are God’s children, we will get the blessings God has for his people. He will give us all that he has given Christ. But we must suffer like Christ suffered. Then we will be able to share his glory.”
