Romans 8 Remixed

And you know that I cause everything to work together for your good because you love me and are called according to my purpose.


I knew you in advance, and I chose you to become like my Son, so that my Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen you, I called you to come to my Son.

And having called you, I gave you right standing with me. And having given you right standing with me, I glorified you (even though you haven’t experienced it yet).

What shall you say about such wonderful things? If I am for you, who can ever be against you? Since I did not spare even my own Son but gave him up for you, won’t I also give you everything else?

Who dares accuse you whom I have chosen for my own? No one—for I myself have given you my righteousness. Who then will condemn you? No one—for Christ Jesus, my Son, died for you and was raised to life for you, and he is sitting in the place of honor at my right hand, interceding for you.

Can anything ever separate you from my Son’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves you if you have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is yours through my Son, who loved you.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate you from my love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither your fears for today nor your worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate you from my love.

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate you from my love that is revealed in my Son, Christ Jesus your Lord.

(Based on Romans 8:28-39, NLT)
