Thought from Romans 8:
No opposition can finally crush us
No good thing will finally be withheld from us
No accusation can ever disinherit us
No separation from Christ’s love can ever befall us
Communicates the adequacy of God as our:
Sovereign Protector
Sovereign Benefactor
Sovereign Champion
Sovereign Keeper (Assurance)
Counters our fear of:
Opposition among men
Privation among men
Rejection by God
Separation from God
Communicates the decisiveness of:
His covenant commitment to us
His redeeming work for us
His justifying verdict upon us
His divine love in settling our destiny
Compiled from Knowing God, J.I. Packer, Chapter 22, Inter-varsity Press, 1973
