And having chosen them, he called them to come to him, and having called them, he gave them right standing with himself, and having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. Romans 8:30

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son, but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Therefore, who dares accuse us, whom God has chosen for his own? No one, for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one, for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. As the Scriptures say, “For Your sake, we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep”. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble, or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Thank you, Lord!
