Hello my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset. It is time for you and

I to get our minds aligned with the truth of God in today's truth that we're

looking at is coming from Romans chapter 8

verses 18 through 23. 18 through 23 it's a pretty sizable little chunk but it's all

tied together in the same topic that the Apostle Paul is addressing

for us.

Now he's been speaking to us about the reality of our salvation, the reality of our

redemption in Jesus Christ.

And it's teaching us that we can be confident

that we are not only children of God, but we are also heirs of God and that as we endure the

suffering and the pain the hardship that happens in this life we are proving

our salvation to be real because we're willing to undergo the difficulties

that come about as a result of being saved. You know, someone who's not a legitimate whatever is not willing to do what it takes to be that thing.

You know they may have made the decision, they may have placed their confidence in the fact that they can become that but if they're not willing to do the work

You see this is a matter of the will they're not willing to do the work then that their willingness is not there

So they're not really that thing whether it be a golfer or a dancer or an artist or whatever.

Paul has just told us that and now in Romans 8, 18 through 23,

he's taking that concept of suffering and hardship that you have to

endure to become the thing you want to be.

And he is explaining to us where that came from and we'll find out we are not alone in this suffering.

He says, for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing

with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
