Having demonstrated that those who are justified by faith have been set free from condemnation, indwelt by the Spirit, adopted as God&#8217;s children, sustained through suffering, and assured of future glory, Paul now celebrates the absolute certainty of God&#8217;s saving purpose. The blessings introduced in Romans 5 and developed through Rm 8:6\u20138 culminate in a series of rhetorical questions that emphasize the believer&#8217;s complete security in Christ. As God has justified us through the sacrifice of His Son and Christ continually intercedes for us, no accusation, adversity, or spiritual power can ever separate the child of God from His unfailing love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/truthrightlydivided.ca\/wp2\/romans-831-39\/#Outline_of_Romans_8_31-39\" >Outline of Romans 8:31-39<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/truthrightlydivided.ca\/wp2\/romans-831-39\/#Themes_to_think_about\" >Themes to think about<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/truthrightlydivided.ca\/wp2\/romans-831-39\/#Questions_for_discussion\" >Questions for discussion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outline_of_Romans_8_31-39\"><\/span>Outline of Romans 8:31-39<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rm 8:31-32 &#8211; The confidence of God\u2019s provision &#8211; <em>If God is for us, who can be against us?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rm 8:33-34 &#8211; The certainty of God\u2019s pardon &#8211; <em>Who shall bring a charge against God\u2019s elect?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rm 8:35-37 &#8211; The conquest of God\u2019s power &#8211; <em>we are more than conquerors through Him<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rm 8:38-39 &#8211; The completeness of God\u2019s promise &#8211; (nothing) <em>shall be able to separate us\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Themes_to_think_about\"><\/span>Themes to think about<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf The eternal security of the believer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf The sufficiency of Christ\u2019s work<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf The sovereignty of God\u2019s grace<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf The certainty of God\u2019s love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_for_discussion\"><\/span>Questions for discussion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.
