Romans 8 for 2010

At the beginning of the month the Lord spoke to me from His Word:

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 NIV

I opened my sword and began to read and found all of the words in this chapter resonating in my spirit.

Leah over at The Point has challenged us to join her in Challenge 2010 Scripture Memorization and the Holy Spirit impressed it upon me to bury all of Romans 8 deep in my heart.

The challenge is to post your verses on the 1st and 15th of each month, and by the end of the year you will have memorized 24 verses. Romans 8 contains 39 verses so I will need to tackle more than one at a time.

But what wonderful news Paul has to share! My spirit is strengthened and stirred.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2 NIV
