The promise of Romans 8:28 is full of endless comfort for every affliction, encouragement in the face of all our fears, and strength for anything in the future.

Paul ended this letter with 20 commands he wanted to leave with these believers at Thessalonica. Every single one of them is vital to our spiritual safety, peace and joy. The ones we’ll cover this morning mainly help us live in peace with each other in the church family.

In our weakness, the Spirit gives His massive help by interceding for us according to God's perfect will.

The big question people have about the coming of the Lord is, of course, when will it happen? And that’s a question we are not given an answer to. The day and the hour is not vital for us to know, because we are to always be ready for Him to come.

In this present time characterized by suffering and futility, the dominant Christian attitude is to be one of hope.

The world, as we know it will come to an end. The Lord Jesus Christ will break through the skies and everything will change. His coming will mean unspeakable glory for believers and unspeakable terror for those who did not love the truth.

All present suffering and calamity - both personal as well as cosmic - is part of a bigger plan of God to give us a future that is better than we could imagine.

All of God's children are redeemed by the same blood of Jesus Christ and have received the same Spirit of adoption and are therefore full heirs. Heirs of God and Joint heirs with Jesus Christ.

And in our passage Paul urges us to live in a way that pleases God, more and more. And he starts with our sexuality.

The Holy Spirit gives God's children deep, rich, and profound assurance of their adoption. This assurance produces a joyful boldness.
