Security of a Believer
Security of a Believer
Opening Questions:
What is the world’s perspective of God?
Where does the world usually look for Security?
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
What is going on in the world during the time that this letter was written?
What does vs. 32 show us about God’s nature?
Analogy of a friend taking a bullet for you but then being worried that he won’t let you use his bathroom
This part of the passage shows security through God’s precedent
God is not worried
Analogy of a little kid eating it and looking to his parents first to see if he should cry or not
Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
Analogy of a loan being paid off by someone else but then the landlord coming and trying to get more money from the tenant
What the enemy tries to do with us
How does Vs. 34 change our perspective on life?
This part of the passage show our legal security
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
How many of the things in vs. 35 do you think this audience had to endure?
Not even sin can separate us from the Love of God
So what does sin do?
Hinders our engagement with God
Hinders His calling from being fulfilled in our lives
Hurts us
This passage shows the believer the security they have in His Love
