No One Can Separate Us From God’s Love (Romans 8:31 -39)

1. Is God for Us?

Sometimes we think that certain influential people would be willing to help us at any time. We are certainly willing to help them if need be. However, when the time of need comes, we discover this is not true. (Prayer).

 Our assurance of God’s love depends on our relationship with him and our knowledge of his faithfulness. If we are strangers to Him, we will resent any interference in our lives. If God is our Father, we will desire to be close to him. If God seems far away, it is because we have moved away from Him, not the other way around. We must remain in fellowship with God to realize His faithfulness to us. When we sin, we fall out of fellowship with God and must ask for forgiveness. God said if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive   us for our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1John1:9,10)

“If God be for us” (Romans 8:31) is poorly translated. The particle used “if.” Does not provide for a supposition. But for certainty, the word if is a condition. If certain conditions are met. The correct translation is “since God is for us,” not if God is for us. Since God is for us, this is certain, God is for us, the conclusion is who can be against us.

Can God Forsake Us?

All Believers can trust their Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, all-loving God to never forsake them. This is Paul’s whole argument in Romans 8:31-38. God has demonstrated his love, His Knowledge, and His Power so definitively and tangibly. He can certainly be trusted to keep us victorious and safe from all danger, internal and external. Furthermore, HE gave us the ultimate gift of His Son to die for us, because God loves us this much, He will freely give us all things with Christ (Rom 8:32).

 Just as we cannot earn our salvation, we also cannot earn His protection.

              God will not allow anyone or anything

               to snatch us out of His hands. In John 10, Jesus was telling the Pharisees I am the

                shepherd, In verse 10:27, Jesus says My Sheep hear my voice, I know them, and

               they follow me. I give them eternal life, they shall never perish, and no one shall       

snatch them out of my hands. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than

all and no one can snatch them out of the Father’s hand. After he has paid such a price

1. When you accept God’s invitation, God takes your unrighteousness and imputes it

Upon Jesus Christ, and He takes Christ’s Righteousness and imputes it upon you.

You don’t have any righteousness of your own, but you have the righteousness of

Christ, And God declares you Justified unto righteousness.

2. When the verse says He will freely give all things with Christ it is referring to God

Will give you future Grace. It is by grace you are saved, it is not of yourselves, it is the

Gift of God, not by works, so no one can boast.

God will not give you all the grace at one time, but He will

Freely give us what we need each time an occasion arises, we do not receive all His

But when He brings us into a situation or allows us to enter a situation.  He gives us

The necessary grace and gifts to face it. In doing so, God remakes us unto Good

Works.

III.          God Guarantees Grace to Us

Paul, list some situations in which God’s grace is sufficient. When there is a circumstance in which someone charges that you are not a Genuine believer. The only opinion you should value is that of God himself; it is God who justified you (Rom 8:33)

Tribulations from outside Circumstances, inner depression, distress, persecution,

Famine, nakedness, peril, and the sword shall never separate from the love of God

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 (Rom. 838)

1. God assures us that none of these extremes can separate us from the love of God, which is rooted in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Brothers and Sisters, God did it all. The only thing you have to do is accept his gift. You accept God’s gracious gift by having faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. That is by believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Believing that He died on the cross for our sin, making it personal by saying my sin, believing that God raised Him from the dead, and that He is alive right now at the right hand of God, making intercessions for us all.

Now do you believe?  Congratulations

God Bless You
