Passage: 2 Timothy 3:10-17
Duration: 19 mins 54 secs
As Christians, how do we explain our relationship with God who is everywhere at the same time and who is outside of time?

The Bible shows us how we can have a relationship with God and how we should live, serve, love and care for one another.

Romans 8 is a chapter of FREEDOM where this is only found when we are in Christ. In this section, we see the first two freedoms we have. First, there is no CONDEMNATION (v.1) because of the sin in our old life, and second, we have no OBLIGATION (v.12) to the old (flesh) life, rather we are to live by the Spirit by which we can call God our Father.
