Description

Standing at the summit of biblical assurance, Romans 8:31-39 offers breathtaking views of God's unbreakable love. Just as Churchill inspired courage in Britain when they had "nothing but the back end of broken bottles" to fight Hitler's regime, Paul's words carry infinitely greater authority—backed by the risen Christ himself.

This powerful sermon unpacks three life-changing realities: your past is secured in Christ, your present is secured in Christ, and your future is secured in Christ. When Paul asks, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" he's reminding us that the God who didn't spare His own Son will certainly fulfill every promise to those who believe.

Through vivid courtroom imagery, we see how all accusations against believers are dismissed—not because we're innocent, but because we're clothed in Christ's righteousness. Like the scapegoat on the Day of Atonement, our sins are cast away never to return. Even when facing tribulation, persecution, or danger, we remain "more than conquerors" because nothing can alter our ultimate victory in Christ.

Most reassuringly, Paul's exhaustive list in verses 38-39 leaves no room for doubt: death, life, angels, rulers, present circumstances, future events, powers, height, depth—absolutely nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus. This includes even our own failures and shortcomings.

As one pastor puts it, "If you could lose your salvation, you would." The good news is you can't—not because of your grip on God, but because of His unbreakable hold on you. This assurance isn't just theological comfort; it's freedom to live courageously in a world of uncertainty. When God is for you, who or what could possibly stand against you?
