Always Preach. Never Presume
While God is always sovereign in the salvation of his people, this fact does not negate our responsibility as Christians to preach the Gospel, with love and without partiality, to all people, whether they're sympathetic to us or not.  We also cannot make the mistake that someone having all of the advantages of growing up around the church and being surrounded by the things God equates to salvation in Christ.  Always preach, never presume, because what's at stake is everything. 
 
Scripture: Isaiah 48:12-19, Romans 9:1-5

    He Will Never Remove His Love
    The passages at the end of Romans 8 remind us that nothing can separate us from his love.  Though we do not yet experience the same trials, tribulations, and persecution as other Christians in different parts of the world, a time will come when we face these in various forms.  Because of his love for us, we know that we can be ever dependent on him, no matter what we face.

    All Other Ground Is Sinking Sand
    The end of Romans 8 gives us the crescendo of assurance through confident assertions grounded in Christ that Paul is impressing upon us.  Though the world, our own flesh, and the devil may be against us, he is always on our side and will see us through.  Our salvation is secure, and this frees us up to love our enemies all the more because we know what and who they need.

    Five Realities of Redemption
    God's work in our salvation is deeply personal.  He knew us and chose us before the foundation of the world, and as the followers of Christ, we are justified in his eyes and will one day be glorified with him.  This gives us great assurance to be courageous, bold, and fearless for Jesus Christ.

    All Things?
    The well-known Romans 8:28 encapsulates much about God and His divine sovereignty and providence for all things and applies to every situation.  We can know that no matter the situation, we can be certain that God is using it for our good and his glory.  This applies to both a macro level through God's unfolding plan throughout redemptive history and on a personal level and the difficulties we face.  Though he may test, teach, humble and refine us, he has those who love him in each place for a good reason, and that allows us to be more patient and to trust and depend on him amid our trials.

    Not Worth Comparing
    True believers in Christ can expect hardships to come their way in this life, but none compare to the glory that belongs to us in eternity. Though created beautifully, the things of this world are affected by the fall and will not satisfy because they cannot satisfy. One day, corruption will give way to perfection, futility will be replaced with fruitfulness, and this life's pains will be exchanged with everlasting joy. 
     
    Scripture: Psalm 148, Romans 8:18-25

    Tell Me Lies
    In a culture as hostile as this, there's a demand to affirm lies, and proclaiming the truth can be costly.  This was seen in the time of Micaiah, the prophet, who held fast in proclaiming the truth despite the masses around him affirming untruths.  Evil will accumulate as many voices as possible to lend credibility to its lies, but Christians must be the ones who stand for the truth, no matter the cost.  We can expect to face hatred, intimidation, persuasion to give in, and even persecution, but it is our duty to proclaim the truth to a world that desperately needs it.
