God Is For Us.
John 10:10 (NIV)

Romans 8:33-34 (NIV)
“Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”
Romans 8:35-36 (NIV)
“Who shall separate us from the love (agape) of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
‘For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’”

“God’s love is the anchor. God is for us – not something to be said casually or cheaply, certainly not a license to go slack on our own faithfulness, but something on which we can rest when the storms are raging, to quiet our hearts when everything seems to be going wrong.” – N.T. Wright Into the Heart of Romans

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
