Romans 8:38-39

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 8:1-99

Romans 8 Bur now DOES this deliverance work? How is it accomplished? We find an answer to these questions when we commence to read chapter 8. At the end of chapter 7 the law of sin and death proved itself far more powerful than the law of the renewed mind. In the opening of chapter 8 the law of the Spirit, who is now given to the believer, proves itself far more powerful than the law of sin and death. The Apostle can exultingly say, It has “made me free.” Not only have we life in Christ Jesus... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 8:31-39

The assurance of God's unchangeable love in Christ Jesus: v. 31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? v. 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? v. 33. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. v. 34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 8:18-39

II. Life in the Spirit in connection with nature as the Resurrection-life, and the Spirit as security of gloryRomans 8:18-39A. The present and subjective certainty of future glory, or the glorification of the body and of nature by the spirit (Romans 8:18-27)18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared [insignificant in comparison] with the glory which shall be revealed in us [εἰς ήμᾶς].49 19For the earnest [patient] expectation of the creature... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 8:38-39

Romans LOVE’S TRIUMPH Rom_8:38 - Rom_8:39 . These rapturous words are the climax of the Apostle’s long demonstration that the Gospel is the revelation of ‘the righteousness of God from faith to faith,’ and is thereby ‘the power of God unto salvation.’ What a contrast there is between the beginning and the end of his argument! It started with sombre, sad words about man’s sinfulness and aversion from the knowledge of God. It closes with this sunny outburst of triumph; like some stream rising... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 8:31-39

No Separation from Christ’s Love Romans 8:31-39 This is the close of the Apostle’s argument. He has shown that believers are dear to God because they are in Christ; that their every need has been anticipated and provided for; that their guilt has been canceled and provision made for their holy and victorious character; that the Holy Spirit is in them and with them forever; that sin is under their feet and heaven over their heads-what, then, have they to fear? Paul then goes on to show that... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 8:1-39

The opening sentences of this chapter show a remarkable contrast with the previous chapter. From the fearful sense of condemnation we pass into the consciousness of no condemnation. Having shown the negative value of the spiritual life as mastery over sin, the apostle now indicated briefly the positive value under the figure of sonship. Children are heirs of the Father's wealth and the Father's home. The apostle kept plainly in view the ground of our claim. "We are joint-heirs with Christ." ... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 8:26-39

Some Things We Know Romans 8:26-39 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In the realms of the humanly unknowable and unknown, the Word of God is sure and steadfast. We can say, "I know this," or, "I know that," when God speaks, because God knows. God knows, for all things are from His hand. He knows history far back of the advent of man, because God was there; He knows prophecy far beyond the present hour of man, for He is there. When God speaks we know that He will fulfill His Word; we know that God is true;... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 8:38-39

NO SEPARATION‘For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’ Romans 8:38-Malachi : The love of God! Nothing shall separate us from the love of God! These are the two thoughts that I give you this evening. Some of us believe in God; some of us do not. When I say that we do not... read more

Peter Pett

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

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
