Romans 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Application:
Romans 8:31–34 The staggering promise of Romans 8:30 launches Paul into the most beautiful and victorious passage in the book. He asks, What, then, are we to say about these things? (8:31). If God has done all of this for us, what could possibly overrule it? If God did not even spare his own Son (8:32), why would we ever doubt his goodness and generosity toward us? And if God is for us (8:31), then who could bring an accusation against God’s elect? (8:33) If God says you’re not guilty (and he does!), then charges against you are irrelevant.
Romans 8:35–39 Paul ends this chapter with another eternal security question: Who can separate us from the love of Christ? (8:35). The answer, at this point, should be obvious: no one. But Paul wants us to feel that answer, so he piles up problem after problem. Will affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? (8:35).
In other words, can the worst circumstances on earth separate us from God’s love? What about death … rulers … things present … things to come? (8:38). Will the spiritual powers of the invisible world divorce us from God? Will one’s past, present, or future do it? Will any other created thing (8:39)? Paul covers every possibility with that phrase. That’s as “everything” as “everything” gets.
