Insight 

In Romans 8, three things jump from the page to fill God’s child with assurance and hope. Verses 1–4 remind us that “there is now no condemnation” for believers in Christ. This affirmation gives us confidence that in Jesus we’re brought into right relationship with God and are safe from judgment for our sins. The bulk of the chapter (vv. 5–27) confirms the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering us in living out our faith. The final segment (vv. 28–39) assures us that God’s love for us will never die or diminish. After seven chapters that speak to our failings and our need of a Savior, chapter 8 builds a case for spiritual confidence in Christ. His protection, Spirit, and love have come to us through the cross, reminding us that we’re loved and cared for by the Father.
