Romans 8:28-36

28And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

29For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

30And 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.

31What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?

32Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

33Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.

34Who 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.

35Can 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?

36(As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”)
