Is our focus on others and God, or on ourselves? Paul continues in verses 2 and 3 about a person who is inwardly focused, and the person who cares for others. This is especially relevant for people of today. First, lets look at these two verses: 1 Corinthians 8:2,3 “And if any man think [...] The things God has prepared for us when we get to heaven is even greater than we can imagine. We tend to imagine things in relation to what we have experienced on this earth. Seeing a great mountain or a peaceful meadow, we may imagine the majesty of God.

Ephesians [...] In the final verses of Romans 8, Paul talks about the remarkable love of Jesus, and how it makes us victorious in our daily lives. [...] We continue our review of Romans chapter 5. Yesterday we learned about some of the outcomes of being justified from our sins by God.
