God’s Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? aIf God is for us, who can be against us?  
32 aHe who did not spare His own Son, but bdelivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?  
33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? aIt is God who justifies.  
34 aWho is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, bwho is even at the right hand of God, cwho also makes intercession for us.  
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

What Does Romans 8:33 Mean?



Romans 8:33

The verb justify (dikaiô in Greek) is a legal term meaning “to acquit, to declare as righteous”; it is the opposite of “condemn.” Synonymous terms are “count righteous,” “remit sins,” and “not count sin” (Romans 4:5-8). Since only a judge can justify the accused or offer pardon, our justification must proceed only from our supreme Judge—God the Father—whereby He makes us acceptable and sets us in a right relationship with Him, vindicated and declared to be in the right.
