Romans 8: 18-31
The book of Romans was written in a time in which Christianity would soon be identified as a threat to Roman authority thus leading to persecution. This would have been heavily relevant to the Roman Church. Nothing new is learnt but Verse 36 is such a honest statement. I am left as a man to be condemned, ostricised and slaughtered by the world and yet I can say with confidence that God has never done me wrong. I am a soldier with assured victory beyond human comprehension. In my weak and deprived state I often cave into the conformaty around me but God is gracious and has given me brothers and sisters to encourage me. Therefore we all as sheep can walk into the slaughterhouse together with the anticipation of God's glory to come.
