Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:1-39

Salvation To The Uttermost (5:1-8:39). The depths of our sin having been revealed in Romans 1:17 to Romans 3:23, and Jesus Christ’s activity, (His activity in bringing about our salvation through the cross by means of the reckoning to us of His righteousness by faith), having been made known in Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25, Paul now sets about demonstrating the consequences of this for all true believers (Romans 5:1 to Romans 8:39). He wants us immediately to recognise that being ‘accounted as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:28-39

The Believer Can Rest In Total Assurance Because He Knows That God Is Working His Purposes Out From Beginning To End. He Can Therefore Rest In The Certainty Of His Love Whatever Befalls (8:28-39). Now we learn that, although we may not know what is the mind of the Spirit in His intercession on our behalf, one thing that ‘we do know’ (Romans 8:28) is that to ‘those who love God’ all things work together for good. While the Spirit intercedes in full knowledge, our knowledge is restricted. This... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:32

‘He Who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also with him freely give us all things?’ Indeed the extent to which He is ‘for us’ is revealed in the fact that ‘He spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all’. God commended His love towards us in that Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). He was willing to allow men to put His own Son through the suffering of the cross, because He was so much on our side. If then for our sakes He ‘spared not His own... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:28-39

Romans 8:28-Malachi : . The Christian Assurance. Romans 8:28 . One thing “ we do know, that all goes well for those that love God”— including their worst sufferings ( Romans 8:18; cf. Romans 5:3-Deuteronomy :). Romans 8:29 f. This assurance rests on God’ s manifest purpose toward them— a “ purpose” disclosed in five successive steps: “ foreknowledge, pre-ordination, call, justification, glorification.” The foreknowledge covers everything about the persons concerned; God never acts by guess (... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 8:32

He that spared not his own Son: this phrase either shows the bounty of God, that he did not withhold Christ; or the severity of God, that he did not favour, but afflict and punish him, Isaiah 53:4,Isaiah 53:5,Isaiah 53:11. But delivered him up: see Acts 2:23. This doth not excuse Judas, no, nor Pilate and the Jews; though they executed God’s purpose, yet they acted their own malice and wickedness. For us all; this plainly refers to such persons as he had before mentioned, such as God foreknew,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 8:32

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Romans 8:32Love resolving, performing, and revealing.—The argument employed by St. Paul in this verse is one from the greater to the less. It is a self-evident principle that the greater implies and includes the less. The greater gift is that of the well-beloved Son; the less is the “all things” which are included. If all things are given into the Saviour’s hands, then it must be true that believers are in possession of those things which are placed in the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 8:31-39

Romans 8:31-39 There are Three Stages in this Challenge of Faith. I. Who shall our accuser be? Nothing will stop the accuser's mouth, but the one mighty act of God's sovereign grace by which He acquits and justifies the sinner. II. The adversary may accuse; condemn, he dare not. For Jesus, the Judge, is in His own person a threefold, fourfold answer to every charge against His people. III. The Apostle flings down his glove to the forces of the world. What is his challenge but an echo to the... read more

DISCOURSE: 1879GOD’S GIFT OF HIS SON A GROUND FOR EXPECTING EVERY OTHER BLESSINGRomans 8:32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?IF we contemplate the mysterious work of redemption, and the grace of God as displayed in it, we shall be filled with wonder and amazement [Note: ver. 30.]; and in the view of it we shall defy all the enemies of our salvation [Note: ver. 31.]: but if we contemplate the means by which... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-39

Let's turn to the eighth chapter of Romans. Fasten your seatbelts as we take off.In the seventh chapter of the book of Romans, Paul has come to the realization that the law is spiritual. While he was a Pharisee he thought of the law as physical, intended to control man's outward actions. But when he came to the realization that the law was spiritual, then he realized that the law actually condemned him to death because, though he had physically kept the law, spiritually he had violated it.So he... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 8:1-39

The first four verses of this chapter belong to the preseding one, and deduce the just conclusions therefrom, that the state of fallen man is a state of condemnation and legal bondage that he cannot extricate himself by any unavailing efforts of legal obedience that God has done for us by Jesus Christ what we could not do for ourselves that this liberation is obtained by union with Christ, which exempts us from condemnation and that those who are thus united to him, walk not after the flesh,... read more
