Acts 2:42-47 The Disciple-Making Church
In the first days of the church, 3000 came to faith at one time during Peter's sermon. The church took shape and began to disciple one another. They were a worshiping church, a connecting church, and a serving church, and because of that, disciples grew and the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

Paul ends chapter 8 by showing the believer that there is nothing that can separate him from the saving love of Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:28-34 If God is For Us...
The believer is not left alone to suffer in this present world as we wait for the glory that is to be revealed. In fact, God 's purposes are being fulfilled through "all things." But God's purpose is not our happiness or comfort. It is for us to be conformed to the image of His Son.

Romans 8:14-17 The Spirit of Adoption
The reason why believers are no longer in debt to the flesh is no given. They owe the flesh nothing because they have been adopted into a new family. Believers have a new relationship with God as their Father and they have the rights and privileges of sonship.

Romans 7:14-25 Welcome To The War
One of the most difficult texts in the NT. Paul shows the believer that there is a war between the flesh and the "inner man." This is the normal Christian life. There is a battle that rages until we see Jesus. The Believer desires to keep God's law perfectly, but the ability to do so is simply not within his power.

Romans 6:15-23 Living "Under Grace"
Paul continues to demonstrate why the grace of God does not incite more sin. In this section, we see that living under grace doesn't mean that we are free to sin. It means that we have been freed from our old master in order to serve our new one. Believers are free from the dominion of sin and now serve Christ. This doesn't mean that believers no longer sin but they are no longer obeying the master of sin, now there is a fight that takes place - and the end of this fight is eternal life for believers.
