The Bible Our Edification thumb

The privileges of being justified and reconciled to God are a central teaching in Romans 8, and because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, we, His people have the indwelling of Holy Spirit who is with us as we journey to eternity in God’s new heaven and earth. Suffering with Jesus, however, is part of what we undergo, our edification, as we await the final and full consummation of all things. In the midst of our suffering, we have hope because of the surety of the world to come and the intercessory work of Holy Spirit.
