In Romans, Paul presents the idea that salvation is past, present, and future. It is past because we were saved the moment we believed in Jesus Christ as Savior, and our new life starts at that moment. It is present because we are being saved, which is the process of sanctification. But at the same time, we have not fully all the benefits and blessings of salvation that will be ours when Christ’s new kingdom arrives. That is our future salvation. While we are confident in our salvation, we can still hope in the upcoming blessings and the transformation of our bodies to be like Christ. In verses twenty-six to twenty-seven, Paul tells us that the Holy Spirit will help us with our weaknesses. If you are part of God’s family, you can have the confidence that the Holy Spirit will help you deal with the daily problems and circumstances of life .

Romans 8:24-27
24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
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.
