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 8:37

‘MORE THAN CONQUERORS’‘We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.’ Romans 8:37 Here is a glorious vision indeed. St. Paul is so confident that he speaks of the future as if it were present (cf. Romans 8:30). His lips are touched with the power and the sweetness of the eternal song. He dreams a golden dream that he is home at last, and his feet are standing within the gates of the New Jerusalem. I. Who are the victors?—By nature they were far off, lost in the dust and slime of the... 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'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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:37

‘No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.’ Indeed rather than being defeated by such circumstances as those described above, Christians rise above them. ‘In all these things we are ‘more than conquerors’ (or ‘super-conquerors’)’. They not only overcome them, but they triumph in them. And this is ‘through Him Who loved us’. Our assurance is in Christ not in ourselves. Note the continual emphasis on love (Romans 8:35, here, Romans 8:39). Through His sustaining... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:38-39

‘For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’ Paul closes this part of his letter with this final assurance of God’s love for His people revealed through Christ Jesus our LORD. He stresses that it is a love from which it is totally impossible to be separated, and he then lists... 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
