What does Romans 8 teach about God being for us?
Romans 8 teaches that Christ died for us, and consequently God is for us, so no one can be against us. Its closing verses assure us that neither principalities nor powers—nor life nor death—can separate us from the love of God, giving great assurance.
Les teaches that Romans 8 contains great verses of assurance: Christ died for us, and consequently God is for us, so no one can be against us. He also points to the closing verses, which say that neither principalities nor powers can keep us from the love of God, and that neither principalities nor powers nor life nor death can separate us from the love of God. He then ties this to Romans 12:1, where the word “therefore” looks back to what chapter 8 has just finished, showing how the assurance of chapter 8 flows into the appeal of chapter 12.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
