The Questions Already Answered (Romans 8:31-39)

About this episode

Stephen Bean discusses the assurance of God's love as outlined in Romans 8:31-39, emphasizing the difference between knowing and feeling this truth.

What Can Separate Us From the Love of God? — Romans 8:31–39 You already know the answer. Nothing. But knowing it and feeling it are two very different things. This week, Stephen Bean closes out Romans 1–8 with Paul's thundering conclusion — a string of rhetorical questions that aren't really questions at all. What can be brought against you? Nothing. Who can condemn you? No one. What can separate you from the love of Christ? Not suffering, not doubt, not your worst failure, not your longest drought. Stephen unpacks why we so often struggle to believe what we say we believe — and why the security of God's love doesn't rest on how well we're doing. A fitting summit after months in the deep terrain of Romans.
