Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:8-14
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Romans 8:15-17
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
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 through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Romans 8:24-27
"No creature that deserved redemption would need to be redeemed." C.S. Lewis
We should be quick to forgive because we ourselves have been forgiven.
The hostility and the wickedness of which we must repent have no color and size, yet they are in all colors and sizes.
Repentance is standing to humble oneself to ground zero in an attitude of reversal (i.e. to come to one's senses with deeds of blessing).
The progressive and redemptive pattern 0 - 1, 2 - 3, 4 - 5, 6 - 7, 8 - 9, 0 - 1 is a reminder to come back to our first love. Remember that we need to forgive 7 times 70.
Bestiality is not wisdom.
Talking about prayer is one thing; praying no matter what in times of difficulty is another thing: godly act of prayer.
