GET INVOLVED
Three-In-One
Romans 8:19-30
When sin first entered the world through humanity’s disobedience, it impacted everything. It wasn’t just people who missed out on God’s original plan for the world. All of creation was affected. It might be more accurate to say that all of creation was infected, even though it did nothing wrong. The consequences of sin always ripple out beyond where and when it first took root. That’s true not just for creation but also for people.
The good news is that God is more powerful than sin. Someday, all of the brokenness and destruction will be made right. Until then, God enters our world and our lives to begin his good, healing, and redeeming work.
You might recognize these words from the verses in this lesson:
It’s a beautiful and encouraging verse. But it doesn’t stand on its own. It has important context (the words before and after it). Our lives have context, too; things that happened before and things that are still to come. Jesus is part of that context. He’s not just with us here and now. He also remakes our past and directs our future.
