Rom 8:31-39 -

What shall we say to these things? The rest of the chapter is a hymn of triumph over this assurance of salvation.

If God be for us, what has been shown, shows that he is for all who love God. If he is on our side, we must prevail.

He that spared not his own Son. If he gave his Son to die for us, it is impossible that he should refuse us anything that will help or bless us. He has nothing he values more than his Son.

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? No one can, since God himself has justified them.

Who is he that condemned? There can be no condemnation (Rom_8:1) since Christ died . . . is risen . . . and makes intercession for us. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Can anything? Can the sufferings of the Christian calling in a time of persecution, such as the prophet described and the early Christians suffered?

As it is written, In Psa_44:22, Will such persecution lead us to abandon Christ?

 Not all these sufferings can lead us from Christ, for

In all these things we are more than conquerors. We overcome by the aid of him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, No hostile power of the universe can lead us away, is the apostle's holy confidence.

Neither death nor life. These adversaries seem to advance in pairs. Death is named first, because death by martyrdom threatens. The next pair is angels, and principalities and powers. "The angels" are good angels, while malignant angels are meant by the other terms.

Nor things present, nor the things to come. The present or the future.

Nor height, nor depth, Perhaps, the things which exalt us and the things which cast us down. Things high and things low.

Nor any other creature, any other created thing.

Shall be able, None of these, "I am persuaded," shall have power enough to tear us away from Christ, by causing us to apostatize.

The love of God, which is in Christ. God's great love for us is all shown through Christ. Nowhere has Paul shown more exultation, more overflowing emotion, than in this close of a profound argument, which shows the complete and full salvation of those who believe upon Christ and are found in him.

The love of God, which is in Christ.
