#130 – The Spirit and Our Waiting with Dr. Jarvis Williams

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Dr Jarvis Williams to look at Romans 8:18-28 and discuss suffering and our ultimate hope.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • What are the sufferings that Paul has in mind here?
  • Creation is personified here as something that is waiting and groaning, is that strange to hear about something non-personal in personal terms like that? (v. 19, 22)
  • What is the “revealing of the sons of God?”
  • But it’s not just creation, it’s also we ourselves who are growing as we wait for adoption? But haven’t we already been adopted? (Rom. 8:15-18)
  • The Spirit helps us by interceding with “groanings too deep for words,” what does Paul have in mind here?
  • Discuss why Romans 8:28 is better in its context.
  • What is our hope?

Helpful Definitions:

  • Sufferings: The normal rhythms that all human beings experience in this present evil age that are the result of the fall and the curse that Jesus has come to deliver us and the creation from. (Could be persecution for our faith, cancer, poverty, etc.)
