Romans 8:31-39
08.31 What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
08.32 He who did not spare His own Son,
but delivered Him up for us all,
how shall He not, with Him,
also freely give us all things?
08.33
Who shall bring a charge against God???s elect?
It is God who justifies.
08.34
Who is he who condemns?
It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen,
who is even at the right hand of God,
who also makes intercession for us.
08.35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril(danger), or sword?
08.36
As it is written: ???For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.???
08.37
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
08.38
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor powers,
nor things present nor things to come,
08.39
nor height nor depth,
nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Oh my goodness! That looks and smells delicious!
Let???s take our first bite together ??? verse 31
??? If God is for us, who can be against us????
OHHH. That steak just melts in your mouth.
Obviously Paul???s question is rhetorical!
GOD IS FOR US!
So???
NO ONE can be against us!
Well, of course you know that today someone is going to act like they???re against you.
They???ll probably be so deceived that they think they have a chance to win!
Ha! Poor wretches!
No! THEY DON???T!
God is for YOU!
NO ONE HAS A CHANCE!
Verse 32 tells us why we can be so sure.
???He who did not spare His own Son,
but delivered Him up for us all,
how shall He not, with Him,
also freely give us all things? ???
Satan desperately wants you to think the your hope in eternity is never going to come to pass.
That somehow God is going to change His mind about you!
SHUT UP!
He loves us so much He gave His ONLY SON to die for US!!!!
Are you kidding?!?
Do we dare to think that our eternity is at risk!
Like God is not faithful?!?!
Like He might change His mind?!?!
No way.
But the TRUTH isn???t going to stop Satan from trying to destroy you.
He???ll even use some of the people around you.
Sooner or later people are going to notice that you???re not perfect.
RIGHT? We???re not even very good.
Then they???re going to act surprised and start judging you.
Satan is even going to try to get you to be disgusted with yourself.
But let???s take this next bite together.
08.33
Who shall bring a charge against God???s elect?
It is God who justifies.
08.34
Who is he who condemns?
It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen,
who is even at the right hand of God,
who also makes intercession for us.
Who can bring a charge against us?
Again??? NO BODY!!
Nobody can bring a charge against us
because it is GOD who justifies us.
If it were our good works we
would really have something to worry about but it???s not!
But It???s God Who Justifies Us!
Not only that but Jesus is sitting right next to God the Father defending us!!
???Remember Father, I died to pay for that transgression.???
???It???s already paid for.???
NO CONDEMNATION!!!
08.35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril; or sword?
??? skip 36 & 37 for a minute
08.38
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor powers,
nor things present nor things to come,
08.39
nor height nor depth,
nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ohhh WOWWW!
If breakfast has a desert this IS IT!!
NOTHING AND NO ONE Can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ and God our Father!!!
NOTHING!!
IT???S NOT POSSIBLE!!!
Verses 36 & 37 do state the truth that bad things are going to happen to us!
That???s true!
Prosperity Gospel nonsense is a lie of Satan???s.
But IT DOESN???T MATTER.
The bad things that happen here on earth don???t have any affect on the love that God has for His children.
NOTHING,
not even being murdered wrongfully on a cross,
can separate us from the love of our God!
I was once thrown in prison wrongfully???
STORY?
God???s remedy???
So, as I go to face today???s challenges I know I???m going to fail.
I???m not God.
I know people are likely to take advantage of me, steal from me, and mistreat me.
It may even happen that one of my children may not be as completely respectful of me as they ought to.
But, you know what?
It???s OK.
God loves me and has adopted me and I am
GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY
LIVING IN MY HEAVENLY INHERITANCE
AND THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE,
not even me, CAN DO ABOUT THAT!
Amen?
AMEN!
PRAISE BE TO OUR FATHER
FOR ALL OF THE CREDIT IS HIS!!
OK. I know you enjoyed that breakfast so???
Put your dirty dishes in the sink and get at the day!
