The Believer's Triumph

Where do you turn when you're discouraged? Afraid? Doubting? Hopeless?

Is it a friend? A podcast? A motivational speaker? An uplifting song?

These things are good. But for the believer, they are not where our hope is found. Our hope, our peace, and joy should be found in the person of Jesus Christ.

We ought to seek Him in prayer, in worship, and in the Word of God.

So if you need hope or encouragement today, find it in the words of Romans 8:31-39.

The Believer's Triumph

³¹ What then are we to say about these things?

If God is for us, who is against us?

³² He did not even spare His own Son

but offered Him up for us all;

how will He not also with Him grant us everything?

³³ Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?

God is the One who justifies.

³⁴ Who is the one who condemns?

Christ Jesus is the One who died,

but even more, has been raised;

He also is at the right hand of God

and intercedes for us.

³⁵ Who can separate us from the love of Christ?

Can affliction or anguish or persecution

or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

³⁶ As it is written:

Because of You

we are being put to death all day long;

we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.

³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than victorious

through Him who loved us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded that not even death or life,

angels or rulers,

things present or things to come, hostile powers,

³⁹ height or depth, or any other created thing

will have the power to separate us

from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!
