Nothing Can Separate Us From the Love of God
Romans 8:31-39 · Berean Standard Bible
'If God is for us, who can be against us?' Romans 8:31-39 is Paul's triumphant close to Romans 8: in all things we are 'more than conquerors,' and neither death nor life, angels nor demons, present nor future can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. It answers searchers seeking assurance that nothing can break God's hold on them. Here is the full 'more than conquerors' passage.
31What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?
33Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
34Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39neither 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.
