"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Today's lesson is yet another very important one in that it explains how God understands the intent of the hearts of those of us whom have placed our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and how He "justifies" the weakness of the flesh.
That means that if in our daily lives we cross the boundaries, of what is "sin" in the eyes of those around us, yet have no ill intent toward anyone, those "sins" are justified in the sight of God.
In the first verse of this lesson, Paul said, "the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." That means that the Holy Spirit is praying right along side us on our behalf.
In prayer, or in whatever we do, the Holy Spirit is right there with us to make "intercession" on our behalf and to assure atonement for us.
Do the saved still commit sins? Absolutely! Do those sins count against their eternal salvation? NO! Because the Holy Spirit knows our hearts and will preserve our souls until the day of redemption; "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption." (Ephesians 4:30)~
