Title: Who rules us?

Bible: Romans 8:4-17

Who controls me is so important. To delve deeper into this, let's look at what it means to believe in Jesus and to be saved. Romans 3:23 says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” In other words, Heaven is an inaccessible place because all mankind is in sin, and we are enslaved to sin and death. That is why Jesus came to this earth. The Christian life is a life of being rescued from sin and death through Jesus and living a completely different life from the past. The Bible tells us that God is our Father and that we are part of a new family of God who become sons and daughters of God to us living a new life with Jesus Christ.
When tribulation comes when we do not know Jesus, we have no choice but to suffer in the tribulation. But now we, who are living a new life, can have joy in the midst of tribulation because of Jesus. We can endure tribulation, not only can we have good character while persevering in tribulation, but we can also receive unstoppable hope from God. In addition, God's overflowing love is poured out on us through the Holy Spirit. How grateful are you? That is why, even when tribulation comes to us in our new life, we can go forward believing that God is leading us with his overflowing love even in the midst of that tribulation. We must remember that the grace we have received since we believed in Jesus is a greater grace that cannot be compared with before, and we are living in that grace.
