John Gill - Exposition

John Gill

INTRODUCTION TO Romans 8 As the former chapter shows that sanctified ones are not free from the being of sin in them, which is a ground of general complaint and uneasiness; this chapter shows, that justified ones are freed from the guilt of sin, and secure from punishment for it; and have the utmost reason to rejoice and be glad, and even to triumph in a plerophory and full assurance of faith, on...

John Gill - Exposition

John Gill

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 shall be condemned: for they are loved with an...

Matthew Henry - Complete Commentary

Matthew Henry

The apostle, having fully explained the doctrine of justification, and pressed the necessity of sanctification, in this chapter applies himself to the consolation of the Lord's people. Ministers are helpers of the joy of the saints. "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people," so runs our commission, Isa. xl. 1. It is the will of God that his people should be a comforted people. And we have here such a...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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. Equally impossible; and if neither God nor Christ will condemn, what judge have we to fear? The Judge of all the earth, and the Judge of the quick and the dead...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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 their worst.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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 taken from us. “Quis separabit?” “Who shall separate...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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 us? It is altogether impossible.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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 maketh intercession for us. Will he blow hot and...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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 justifieth, who can bring any charge against his...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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 made with honey, like cold waters from the rock....

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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 blood for you, and yet will he cast you into hell?...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

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 the devil.
