I. Intro:

- After discussing at length concerning the adoption of believers as sons and daughters of God, Paul elaborates on the intercessory nature of these sons and daughters.

- Paul offers three questions, likely intended to be rhetorical in nature, advancing his argument that what God has done for us is a permanent fixture upon the forensic landscape of heaven. That is, what Christ did forever changes the equation of how we come to God and how we relate to God.

- These three questions are the subject of our teaching today.
II. Adoption is forever because God aligns with us
(Romans 8:31-32)
Quote:

They may be helpful to wean us from the world; they may add earnestness to our prayers; they may press us to greater watchfulness and dependence; they may afford fair occasions of evidencing our sincerity, the goodness of our cause, and the power of that God who is for us.
John Newton
III. Adoption is forever because God has removed all accusations (Romans 8:33-34)
Quote:

But we are relieved by the thought that Jesus, the High Priest, bears the iniquity of our holy things, perfumes our prayers with the incense of His mediation, and washes our tears in His own blood.
John Newton
IV. Adoption is forever because of the inseparable love of Christ
(Romans 8:35-39)
