Romans 8:14-17
We've been studying the book of Romans for many months. We're in the eighth chapter, perhaps the most profound chapter in all of Scripture. We're moving slowly through the eighth chapter. This morning we'll look at only four verses: Romans 8, Verse 14 through Verse 17. Hope you have your Bibles and you'll turn with me to that passage. Romans 8:14-17. Let's bow for prayer as we begin.
''Father, still us and steady us in this hour of worship. May there be that holy hush over this place of gathering. Father, give to us reverence and insight so that truly you can deal with all of us individually, yea, and collectively. Lord, we know this is an inportant time of the week, a time
in which you have prepared us we believe by divine appointment to be here.

And he says very clearly that if you are a Christian, you are a son of God. You are, he would say, plural, sons of God. Now, the expression ''sons of God'' is a generic term.
It applies to both male and female. What Paul is saying is that all who are in Christ, all who have received Jesus Christ, all who have repented and confessed and turned their lives and hearts over to Him, then you become a son of God. And it is a generic term - it has nothing to do with sex. So you see that Paul is leading up to a very, very big question. It's almost like he's been building and building right up to this moment. And now he begins to ask, ''How do you know that you are a Christi ...
