8:26 況且，我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助；我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告，只是聖靈親自用說不出來的歎息替我們禱告。
8:27 鑒察人心的，曉得聖靈的意思，因為聖靈照著上帝的旨意替聖徒祈求。
8:28 我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛上帝的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。
8:29 因為他預先所知道的人，就預先定下效法他兒子的模樣，使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。
8:30 預先所定下的人又召他們來；所召來的人又稱他們為義；所稱為義的人又叫他們得榮耀。
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
**************
對基督徒而言我們真正的盼望是「得榮耀」，這是上帝對我們的旨意！這樣的旨意，不是我們努力換取的，是上帝樂意成全的！正如保羅在此所說：「我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛上帝的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。」
也因為如此，我們的救贖是順序的，可以閱讀：「救恩過程」（https://kk1591.blogspot.com/2014/02/blog-post_1909.html）。
故此我們成為耶穌基督的門徒，是多麼有福啊！
