Romans 5:6–8 Displays God's Love for Us

God demonstrates his love for us by Jesus doing the unthinkable for us. While we were weak, while we were ungodly, while we were still sinners. Those are the descriptions of us in this passage. Weak, ungodly sinners, rebels against God, having transgressed the law of God.

God allows nothing to separate us from his love (Romans 8:38-39). Paul considers some powerful threats in the universe, but none of them can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Don't let suffering cause you to doubt God's love.

Verse 35 dismisses seven threats to Christ's love for us. Verse 39 adds ten threats to the list and declares God to be Lord over them all. Lord over Existence: “Death nor life.” The finality of “Death” and the vicissitudes of “life” cannot separate us from God's love.

Those who come to faith in Christ are described as living according to God's Holy Spirit. We no longer live according the flesh, as all non-Christians do. Those in the flesh—the world's way of living for self before and above all else—are hostile to God. They can't please Him (Romans 8:1–8).

We are safe to hope in God because He loves us. Paul's point here is that we don't have to take God's word alone that He loves us. We can look at the evidence: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

In Romans 8:3 in particular, he argues that, through the mission of God's Son, the problems of sin and the weakness of the flesh are resolved by the condemnation of sin in the flesh (of Christ).

There is no condemnation for those in Christ, and nothing will ever be able to separate us from His love. Having believed the gospel, we now live in the Spirit of God.

Paul has established that God is for all of us who are in Christ; for those who have been saved by their faith. No charge or accusation made against us can stand, because God has provided for our justification and Christ is interceding for us.

The present and the future cannot separate us from the love of God. Whatever problems dog us, whatever weaknesses assert themselves in our everyday, whatever stands against us cannot take God's love from us for a moment.

Paul builds a list of some of the worst things that can happen in this life, including trials, hardship, persecution for our faith in Him, hunger, lack of clothing or shelter, physical threats, or death by violence. None of this can separate us from Christ's love.

What is the devotional of Romans 8 35? ›

Today's Bible verse shows us how much God loves us. We see that our right standing with God is solid because no person or situation can separate us from God's love. We don't have to worry about bad things that happen to us because we can be confident in God's love for us.

If God is for us, who is against us (v 31)? The world can't bring charges against us. We are in perfect standing with God, as far as eternity is concerned, because of Christ, and we can experience God's love and approval if we walk according to the Spirit of life.

We can live according to the Spirit by setting our minds on the things of the Spirit. We do this by listening to the word, worshiping the Lord, living in community with other believers, talking about life from God's point of view, and making decisions based on His guidance.

He died for our sins and arose from the dead, that we might have life through forgiveness in Him. Even though we must still endure the death of our physical bodies, that too will be overcome in the end by our resurrection from the dead.

Romans 8 has almost everything. It begins with our justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (vv. 1–4), continues with sanctification and the work of the Holy Spirit (vv. 5–13), and then speaks about our adopted sonship with the Father (vv.

God did demonstrate his love for us in giving his own Son to die once for all in the past for our sins (Romans 5:8). But he also knows that this past love must be experienced as a present reality (today and tomorrow) if we are to have patience and character and hope.

Because God loves us, we have nothing to fear. As the Creator of the universe, He is sovereign over everything. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might have life through Him.

ESV and hope does not put us to shame, because God 's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. NIV And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
