God did not withhold His Own Son but gave Him up for all of us,
will He not with Him also give us everything else? –Romans 8:32 (NRSVCE)

God’s Love in Christ Jesus
Friends: If God is for us, who is against us? God did not withhold His Own Son but gave Him up
for all of us, will He not with Him also give us everything else? Who will bring any charge
against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died,
yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will
separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril or sword? As it is written,
“For Your sake we are being killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.” (Psalm 44:22)
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am
convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to
come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to
separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus Our Lord! –Romans 8:31B-39
