Romans 8:31-39 – 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I am going to do a series starting with those verses towards the top every time.
Why, because they are verses that need to be in our hearts at all times.
Let’s start with the first verse and talk about each one.
Romans 8:31 – 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Nothing, nobody, or anything can stand against God and have victory.
Someone might say, well, Satan and others are running around free and doing as they please. That’s not victory. Satan apparently was the most beautiful angel created and his pride made him fall. That’s not victory. He managed to trick Adam and Eve and took temporary possession of the earth. However, that’s not victory anymore than someone out long jumping someone else and ends up jumping off a cliff.
Victory comes at the end of the war. No one can stand against the Creator’s God and Jesus.
Genesis 1:26 – 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
John 1:1-3 – 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
Don’t stand on the losing side regarding this one. It’s a choice that most people are making without even thinking about it.
With God in your corner, not only are you completely in the only Hands that matter, you will have the ultimate victory.
