Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
The Spirit Himself Testifies
As we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and remain in right relationship with Jesus, the Spirit gives us the confidence that we are God’s children (Romans 8:15). He makes us aware that Jesus continues to love us and that He is our constant mediator in heaven (Hebrews 7:25). The Spirit also shows us that God the Father loves us as His adopted children no less than He loves His one and only Son, Jesus (John 14:21, 23; 17:23); and He reminds us of the reward Jesus will share with us in heaven. Finally, the Spirit creates in us the love and confidence by which we cry to Him, “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15) – which is an expression of a deeply personal relationship with and access to God.

Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
Spirit Himself Intercedes For Us
Concerning the Holy Spirit’s activity in helping us pray, three observations are important:
- As children of God, we have two main intercessors (mediators – ones who plead a case for others or take responsibility for others’ needs and situations): Christ intercedes for us in heaven (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1), and the Holy Spirit intercedes from within us on earth.
- “With groans” probably indicates that the Spirit communicates with God the Father through our desperate inner cries and the longings of our hearts when we do not have words adequate to express our needs and desires to God.
- The desires of our hearts must come from the Holy spirit, who lives within us. He appeals to the Father for our needs “in accordance with God’s will” (Romans 8:27). When His desires become our desires, our prayers will be effective.

Romans 5:10 For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Saved Through His Life
Accepting God’s gracious gift of forgiveness, made available through Jesus’ personal sacrifice, is the first step of spiritual salvation (Romans 3:21-26; 4:5-9). It is the point at which we begin to walk the path of personal companionship with Christ toward the destination of eternal life with Him. We continue to be saved as we live by faith and obedience to Christ. If God loved us enough to send His Son to die for us while we were His enemies (Romans 5:8), how much more, now that we are His children, will He make every provision to preserve our relationship with Him as we continue to live by faith. If we are forgiven and made right with God through Jesus’ sacrificial death, how much more does His resurrection from the dead guarantee our salvation and eternal life with God (Romans 4:22- 5:22; 5:9-10; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Philippians 2:12-16; Colossians 3:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 2 Timothy 2:12; James 1:12; Revelation 2:7).

Romans 3:24 And are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that come by Christ Jesus.
Justified Freely By His Grace Through The Redemption
This verse contains two of the most common words that Paul used to express the concept of salvation: “justified” and “redemption.” The root meaning of “redemption” (Greek apolutrosis) is ransom by the payment of a price. To be redeemed means to be paid for, purchased, bought back, or restored. It also relates to being rescued, liberated, and set free. “To be justified” (Greek dikaioo) means to be “righteous in God’s sight” (Romans 2:13), to be “made righteous” (Romans 5:18-19), to “establish as right” or to “set or put something right.” In a judicial sense, it means to be declared “not guilty.”

Romans 4:16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring – not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
So That It May Be By Grace
If spiritual salvation and a right relationship with God came by perfect obedience to God’s law, no one would be saved. But since it comes through faith by God’s grace, then all who turn to God for mercy can be saved. Mercy could be described as God keeping us from consequences and judgment we deserve. Grace could be described as God granting us favor and benefits, we do not deserve. God provided His grace through His Son, Jesus, who gave His life to pay the penalty for our offenses against God. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, God mercifully forgives sins and extends His grace through His Holy Spirit, whose power transforms believers’ lives and makes them God’s children. Christ’s followers continue to experience God’s grace through the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit, who gives them the desire and power to fulfill God’s purposes for their lives (John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Philippians 2:13; 1 Timothy 1:15-16).

MARCH 4- START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION
Romans 6:17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
OBEYED THE FORM OF TEACHING
In the early church, new followers of Christ were committed to certain defined standards of teaching and conduct, based on the principles and instructions given by Jesus and His apostles (those Jesus directly commissioned to deliver His original message and to lead the effort to establish His church; Matthew 5-7; Acts 2:42).
- These standards were most likely a summary of the moral and ethical teachings of Christ, which new believers committed to follow when they accepted Christ as their new Master. It is the “sound doctrine” or “sound teaching” referred to in the Pastoral Letters (1 Timothy 1:10; 2 Timothy 1:13; 4:3; Titus 1:9; 2:1).
- The Bible’s teaching removes any thought or idea that Christianity has no set pattern to regulate a believer’s thoughts and actions, or that having rules of conduct is “legalism” (relying on God’s law and good works to gain spiritual salvation or favor with God). True Christianity requires obedience to godly standards, yet it is not forced upon the believer. It is a willing expression of love and gratitude to Christ (Mark 7:6).
