It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? All these have done...
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Ring out the challenge in heaven itself; trumpet it through all the caverns of hell; let the whole universe hear it: “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect ?” None can, for “it is God that justifieth,” and his justification blocks every charge that is...
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Well might the apostle ring out these confident challenges to heaven, and earth, and hell. As it is God that...
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Dear children of God, feed on these words. They are like wafers...
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? Here is true boldness; Paul, who called himself the very chief of sinners dares to challenge anyone to lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? Surely God can do so. No,” says Paul, — Rom_8:33. It is God that justifieth. He is both just and the Justifier of all who believe in Jesus, and they...
Who is he that condemneth,.... That is, the elect of God: all mankind are deserving of condemnation, and are under the sentence of it, as in Adam; some are foreordained to condemnation; all in final impenitence and unbelief, are condemned already; and the whole world of the ungodly will be condemned at the last day; but none of God's elect are, or...
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, He is the Judge. Will he who died condemn? Rom_8:34. Yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. He alone is Judge. Has he done all this, and will he condemn us?
It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ? Oh, this blessed question — this touching question! It seems to come at the end of all the others,— a rear-guard which effectually prevents our treasures from being...
Who is he that condemneth? There is only One who can, for there is only one Judge, and that Judge is Jesus. So, the apostle puts it again in the form of a question, — shall he condemn us? Rom_8:34. It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Shall he condemn...
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died. What, die for them, and then condemn them? Nobody can condemn them but the Judge; and if he is unable to condemn them, in consequence of what he has already done for them, then none can. But this is not all. Rom_8:34. Yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also...
Who is he that condemneth? “Why,” saith one, “Christ, the great Judge, will condemn.” No, that he will not, for — Rom_8:34. It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Christian, as Christ makes intercession for you, he will never condemn you. Did he shed his...
It is Christ that died, And so put our sins to death. Rom_8:34. Yea rather, that is risen again, And so hath justified us. Rom_8:34. Who is even at the right hand of God, And so has carried us into heaven by his representing us there. Rom_8:34. Who also maketh intercession for us. Whose everlasting plea, therefore, silences all the accusations of...
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?.... By "the love of Christ" is not meant the saints' love to Christ, but his love to them; he is indeed the object of their love, and so strong is their love to him, that it can never be destroyed; for though there may be an abatement in the fervour of it, it can never be lost; yet this is never...
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? These have been tried on the saints for ages.
Shall tribulation ? That has been tried. Have not the saints been beaten like wheat upon the threshing-floor? Has not addiction been to them a stern test of the reality of their faith? But Christ has loved them none the less for all the suffering that he has permitted to fall upon them. Rom_8:35. Or distress, or persecution, or famine, or...
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword ? What a long list of ills! They seem to make up a Jeremiah’s roll of sorrow. Can they separate us from the love of Christ? They have all been tried; have they ever succeeded?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? “Quis separabit?” That shall be our motto in every time of trial: “who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword, As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. They have all had their turn; but did any of them, or all of them put together, ever divide the saints from Christ?
