The 'We' and the 'Us'


Listen Later

In this session we track a simple but powerful observation through Romans 8:31-39: the words we and us appear again and again, and every single time they refer to the same specific group, God's elect people, foreknown, predestined, called, justified, and glorified. From that foundation we explore Particular Redemption, seeing that when Paul says Christ was given up for us all, the us is not humanity in general but the people the Father gave the Son, and that Jesus is right now at the right hand of the Father interceding for them specifically and effectively. We then work through the breathtaking catalogue of threats in Romans 8:35-39, from tribulation to the sword to death itself, and find that not one of them gets through, because those in Christ are not merely conquerors but hyper-conquerors through him who loved them. If you have ever struggled with assurance, or wondered whether your faith will hold, this session was written for you.
