If we understand Romans 8, the whole letter opens to us.

How does the Apostle Paul move from what he says at the end of Romans 7, "wretched man that I am, who will rescue me from this body of death," to the amazing doxology at the end of Romans 8, "neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Messiah Jesus, our Lord?"

The answer takes us on a journey across the whole sweep of the biblical story, from creation to new creation, from covenant and Exodus to new covenant and new Exodus. We move from exile to restoration, from the wilderness tabernacle, to the indwelling of God's Spirit within the Messiah's people, so that they share his glory.
