September 23, 2001
In the wake of September 11, 2001, people wondered, “What in the world is going on?” In this heartfelt response, Alistair Begg answers that question with truth from God’s Word. From Romans 8, he reminds us that though we suffer along with all creation in this present time, our glory and salvation is coming with the return of Christ. No matter what may happen in this life, in Christ we face no condemnation by Him and no separation from Him.
18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because7 the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,8 for those who are called according to his purpose.
