Romans 8:31-34
(NIV)
31 What, then, shall we say in
response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but
gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all
things?
33 Who will bring any charge against
those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus,
who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and
is also interceding for us. |
