Today is we continue moving through Romans chapter 8, again we're going to start in

verse 16, what I want to do is I want to tell you this study is going to have a

big piece of the puzzle as far as debunking the whole

health and wealth gospel, the whole prosperity gospel thing. But what I want to do is

I want to just teach the study and then see if you can notice where it addresses the

prosperity gospel.

So it should be, you should catch it and if you don't, I'll tell you at the end.

So that's the goal, that's the idea, is that we want to debunk the health and wealth gospel

that that's actually just one little piece of it but really we're going to do

verse by verse and talk about some amazing beautiful truths of God in Romans 8.

So picking up where we left off last week, where

verse 16, it says the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are

children of God. And we talked about what that witness was last week, but I

just wanted to remind ourselves,

that's the context because it's one sentence that takes us into verse 17.

It's about us being children of God, right?

And if children, then heirs, hei-I-E-I-R-S, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed

we suffer with him that we may also be glorified together.

I think what grabs us as we read verse 17 is this if we suffer with him

that we may be glorified together. And we'll come back to that in a minute,

but what should grab us is the concept of being heirs of God. It's this idea that I'm an heir.

Wait, I'm an heir of God.
