Romans 8:35

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 8:35

‘Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?’ In view of the fact that it is Christ in His love Who pleads our cause (Romans 8:34), it demonstrates the impossibility of our being separated from that love. His continual intercession for us is evidence that He has our interests at heart. And so Paul issues the challenge, ‘who will separate us from the love of Christ?’, with the answer due to come back of... 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 8:35

Who shall separate us? He continues his triumph: he does not say what, but who; though he instanceth in things, and not in persons, yet it is expressed personally, because that these things do commonly do us hurt in the improvement of persons, whether of Satan or wicked men, who are instrumental thereunto. From the love of Christ; understand it either actively, from our love of him; or passively, from his love of us. The latter seems to be chiefly intended; Who shall separate us from the love... 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

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

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

The Biblical Illustrator - Romans 8:35-39

Romans 8:35-39Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Dangers which cannot separate the believer front the love of GodWe begin with the general proposition, “Who shall separate us?” etc. And for the love of Christ it may be taken either actively or passively; actively for our love of Him, or passively for His love of us, which latter acceptation of it seems to be that which is here chiefly intended. First of all, let us look upon it in the thing itself. Who or what shall take off the... read more
