Romans 8:31-39
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He 
  that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him 
  also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It 
  is God that justifieth. 34 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. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, 
  or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written,

For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I 
am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor 
things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall 
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1.   How has Romans 8 strengthened your confidence in the Lord?
2.   What is Paul’s logic in v. 32, and how does it assure the believer?
3.   How would you describe the magnitude of God’s gift? How do Genesis 22 and Isaiah 53 provide a backdrop?
4.   Who or what accuses the Christian? Why do all charges and condemnation fail to stick?
5.   Why does Paul not stop at his mention of Christ’s death in v. 34? What does it mean that Christ intercedes for us?
