More Than Conquerors

28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,Some manuscripts And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God whoOr works together with those who love him to bring about what is good–with those who have been called according to his purpose.29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32He 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?

33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.34Who is he that condemns? 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.35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?36As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”Psalm 44:22

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,Or nor heavenly rulers neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39neither 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.

After meditating on the Spirit's role in our salvation throughout the bulk of this section of his letter to the Romans, Paul returns to the preeminence of the Cross and the wonder of God's love (see vv. 2, 32). The Lord has gone to the greatest length to redeem humans, even to the point of planning and procuring our spiritual lives to every end by the ministry of His Spirit. Yet it is through Jesus' act of washing away both sin and condemnation by atonement that the Spirit is thereby ours to receive in faith. When the Spirit has only begun His work in us, all of God's promises are already ours to claim in and by Christ (2 Cor. 1:18-22). While the Father lavishes His love on us through the work of the Spirit, that love is displayed for all by Jesus on the Cross and it is therefore the Cross to which we look for our soul's security (rather than the Spirit's apparent or unapparent work in us). Paul, then, is reiterating what the Lord said to the disciples in John 14 -- Jesus remains with us and will bring about our salvation through the work of the Spirit. In light of this great offering of the Son of God on our behalf, we are told to approach God boldly with our requests (Heb. 4:14-16). Jesus also follows the comforting message of His continued presence by the Spirit with the promise that "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do" (Jn 14:13-14). It remains for us to respond with faith in these great promises -- to walk by the Spirit and to ask for all things in Jesus' name. May God be glorified as we do!
