How emphatically does Paul present the security of believers in Romans 8?

Les teaches that the closing verses of Romans 8 are like the crescendo of a great orchestra: the sound builds and builds until the clashing cymbals grab attention. He says Paul is literally screaming, and if we could have heard him, he would have shouted at the top of his lungs that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, the love of God. Les also stresses that believers are totally under the control and power of the sovereign God, and nobody can supersede His power. In the illustration, a man thought he could cast himself out by committing some horrible sin, but Les insists you cannot touch yourself in that position in the body of Christ any more than someone else can. Then Paul goes over tribulation or distress in verse 35.
