Romans 8:16-19
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering. -St. Augustine:
Pain insists upon being attended to: God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world. -C.S. Lewis
SUFFERING REMINDS ME THAT PAIN IS TEMPORARY, GLORY IS FOREVER.
The eternal cause of pain is not clear; it wears a mask. But because God is good, we have hope of a ‘good’ eternal cause to our temporal conflicts. -Zach Kincaid
One of the main ways we move from abstract knowledge about God to a personal encounter with him as a living reality is through the furnace of affliction. -Tim Keller

God’s intention is that I grow to the point where He can safely empower me to do what I want. That means my life is about growing my ‘wanter’ to want what God wants.
We are beings that are meant to live our lives toward something we cannot possibly accomplish on our own. Obviously we need God’s assistance to do these things. -Dallas Willard

Romans 7:24-25
FREEDOM FROM CONDEMNATION...
Romans 8:1-2
Romans 8:1-2 (Message Paraphrase) With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.
“Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.” Martin Luther
FREEDOM FROM THE LAW..
Romans 8:3-4
“Man's maker was made man that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother's breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that Truth might be accused of false witnesses, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the Foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die.”― Saint Augustine of Hippo
A what was the result?: “For the Lord touched all parts of creation, and freed and undeceived them all from every deceit.”― St. Athanasius
FREEDOM FROM MYSELF...

Isaiah 49:14-16
God NEVER stops loving You
“Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely. ... He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken.”― Dieter F. Uchtdorf
God NEVER stops thinking about You.
Psalm 139:17-18
God NEVER stops planning a future with You.
