Romans 8:31-33–"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies."
This passage is a series of questions, but it there are two statements, two answers to these questions that this passage offers for these questions. The first is a statement in the form of a question: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" This one sets the background for a whole slew of Christian theological awesomeness but it is but a lead in to the final statement: "It is God who justifies."
Needless to say, this passage is packed full of theology. But, in truth, I must submit that it speaks for itself far better than my contemplations can convey. All I can say that is appropriate or worthy of addition is this:
Thank You, Lord. Amen!
