Bible Study 6/10

Proverbs 11:16-31

Continuing some major themes like not trusting in riches but pursuing righteousness; not seeking evil but seeking good. There are a few that touch on giving generously and bringing blessing resulting in "growing all the richer" and being blessed through giving. There is also a caution against putting up a security deposit (v.15) for a stranger.

Romans 8:31-39
v.31 - "What then shall we say to these things?" How do we respond to seeing how God has saved us by uniting us to Christ in his death so that we have died to sin and died to the condemning law, and in his resurrection so that we live for God, with the Spirit of Christ dwelling in us, confirming that we are God's sons. This concluding section in chp. 8 goes back to the opening statement of the chapter - "There is now no condemnation." How could there be in light of what God has done and the love of Christ??
