Confident in Christ

 (ID: 3790)

As he reached the end of Romans 8, Paul presented a triumphant closing argument, grounding Christian assurance in God’s decisive action in Christ. Because God did not spare His own Son, believers can be confident that nothing essential will be withheld from them. Every charge is silenced by Christ’s death, resurrection, reign, and intercession, Alistair Begg explains. Though suffering and opposition remain real, they cannot sever believers from Christ’s love. In all circumstances, Christians are “more than conquerors,” fully secure in God’s unbreakable redeeming love in Christ Jesus.

God's Everlasting Love

31What then shall we say to these things? pIf God is for us, who can be9 against us? 32qHe who did not spare his own Son but rgave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? sIt is God who justifies. 34tWho is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—uwho is at the right hand of God, vwho indeed is interceding for us.10 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36As it is written,

w“For your sake xwe are being killed all the day long;

we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37No, in all these things we are more than yconquerors through zhim who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
