Beholding Bible Truth

Romans 8:31-39 (#33.2026.01.11)


Listen Later

In this episode, Scott leads listeners through Romans 8:31-39, focusing on the assurance, hope, and confidence believers can have through God’s promises. He explains that the gospel is not only for those coming to faith but remains essential for believers, especially when life’s challenges bring doubt, accusation, or suffering. Using the structure of Paul’s rhetorical questions in Romans, Scott Keffer walks through practical issues like feeling opposed by enemies, the world, friends, or even family, and contrasts these with the unwavering truth that God is on the believer’s side.

The episode covers the reality of accusations—both internal and external—and how believers can respond, not with self-effort or emotion, but by resting in the verdict that God has already justified them through Christ. Scott discusses feelings of separation from God’s love during pain and suffering, reminding listeners that nothing can separate those in Christ from His limitless love.
