Much of part 4 and covering Romans 8:34 will be linked to verse 33 that we went over last time. If you haven’t had a chance to read that yet it will help with today.
Romans 8:31-39 – 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:34 – 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
In part 3 we discussed the one who tries to condemn and that is Satan also known as the devil. We went over three different passages of scripture in which he tries to do this. Verse 34 makes it clear that no one has that authority, but God alone and He is making it clear that those whom He has chosen will never be condemned.
The rest of the verse states that Christ died and has risen. It is very important to know that if Jesus is not risen, you’re victory isn’t there. He did rise from the dead and for those who accept Him as Lord and Savior are saved. He sits at the right hand of the Father and intercedes for us.
1 John 2:1-2 – 1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
No one can condemn those who have made Jesus Lord. We are more than Conquerors because of our King and Savior!
