I'm Still Standing
Darrow Perkins
Romans 8:34-39
INTRODUCTION: Adversity and opposition go hand in hand in the life of the Christian. It's because of their relationship with Christ that adversity and opposition always seem to show up in their lives. Some would say it only comes from the world; but the real Christian knows that it comes from all sides, from the world and from the friends and loved ones as well. Let me ask a question... do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try to do what needs to be done, it seems like it's all for naught? There always seems to be somebody there to talk you down, talk around you, talk about you, and even make you feel like there's no use in moving on or forward. It's times like this when we who know the Lord have to reflect back on what God has said, and find encouragement in His Word. First and foremost,
- He's told us that He would never leave us nor forsake us;
- He said He would supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus;
- He said if we called upon Him, He would hear us and answer our prayers.
I can't speak for anyone else, but that's an encouraging word for times like these!!
Being a Christian gives us notice that the devil will try his very best to knock us down and try to take us out, but we can know that we're already victorious in Jesus. That's why, because of what we've been through, that we can say...I'm Still Standing!
BACKGROUND/TEXT. We find ourselves today in the Book of Romans. Known as a book that lays out the plan of salvation, this book has been called The Roman Road because it gives the steps necessary for salvation. For example:
- The Book of Romans tells us about our situation; in Romans 3:23 it reads, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
- The Book of Romans tells us the price for sin; in Romans 6:23 we find, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
