Romans 8:28-39
And we know that in all things God
works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his
purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the
likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And
those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those
he justified, he also glorified.
What, then, shall we say in response
to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 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? Who will bring any charge against those whom God
has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? 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. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or
sword? As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all
day long;
we are considered as sheep to be
slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more
than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death
nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor
any powers, 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.
Hallelujah! What a wonderful Savior.
