Questions Asked, Questions Answered

Text: Romans 8:31-39

What then shall we say to these things?

• Our Justification, sanctification, and our glorification is tied back to “No condemnation.”
• “Nothing” – What can we say?
• “Everything” – We should be in continuous praise and live for Christ.

If God is for us, who can be against us?

• “If” God is for us?
• This can mean “Since” or “Because”
• Psalm 118:6 “…What can man do to me?”

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?

• Paul is providing evidence
• God’s “own” Son shows sacrifice.

Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?  It is God who justifies.

• Brings us to a court setting – Who brings a charge/ Who accuses?
• Accusations, though may be true, will not stand which would cause our justification to be reversed.

Who is to condemn?

• Is not saying, No one will condemn, or even that the condemnation would not be deserved.
• God justifies us due to what Jesus did FOR us (crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and intercession of Christ) 

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

• Nothing/No one can ever separate us from the love of Christ.  
• We are called to be “More” than conquerors.
