Triumph (Romans 8)


The Book of Romans can feel like going through a museum with its density.  Likewise, the weight of chapters discussing sin can feel kind of discouraging, despite the emphasis on grace.

Chapter 8 changes the tone and gives a triumphal feel.  In particular, two verses stand out to me:

1.  If God is with us, who can be against us?  (v. 31)
2.  [nothing] can stand between us and the love of Jesus (v. 38-39)

Despite all our mistakes - past, present, and future - what other people do, what spiritual forces do, Jesus will always be there for us.
