Being Fully Persuaded – Romans 4:20-22

Encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. (1 Thess. 2:12 NIV)

As the whole creation groans in anticipation of the unveiling of God’s children, so the children themselves groan as we wait for our adoption.
