- But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.
- And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
- And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.
- And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
- What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
- Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?
- Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
- No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
- And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.
- If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
- For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.
- As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
- For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
- So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.
- Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
- For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
