In these two verses Paul basically states that there is nothing that can separate us from God\u2019s love in Christ. According to Grant Osborne, this results in the \u201cabsolute security and victory of the believer.\u201d Let\u2019s see how he explains these profound verses in his commentary in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=77385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IVP New Testament Commentary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Inseparable Love of God<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+8%3A38-39&amp;version=NIV\">Romans 8:38-39<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>From the love of Christ, Paul now turns to the love of God (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+8%3A38-39&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vv. 38\u201339<\/a>), emphasizing the inseparability of that love as well. The message is virtually the same as that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+8%3A35&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">verse 35<\/a> but with the opposite order; this verse begins with the list of troubles and then proceeds to the affirmation of God\u2019s love. <strong>I am convinced<\/strong> points to Paul\u2019s absolute certainty that nothing can come between him and the God who loves him. He wants to impart to his readers a similar conviction in the face of adversity. The list of afflictions is organized for the most part in a series of pairs, except for <strong>powers<\/strong> and the concluding <strong>anything else in all creation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A. Neither death nor life.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This reflects the same idea as in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+8%3A38-39&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Philippians 1:21<\/a>, \u201cfor to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.\u201d Death has been often discussed in chapters Romans 5\u2014Romans 8 as \u201cthe great hostile power &#8230; the fullest measure of sin\u2019s power over this age\u201d (Dunn 1988a:506). Here the contrast is between the two forces at work in the believer (though this is likely simply life in the abstract rather than spiritual life).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>B. Neither angels nor demons.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This takes us from daily life to the spirit realm. The second term is literally \u201crulers,\u201d and while it can apply to any kind of angel or even to civic powers, here it is probably drawn from passages where Paul links them with \u201cprincipalities and powers\u201d to designate fallen angels (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Eph+1%3A21&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eph 1:21<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Eph+6%3A12&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">6:12<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Col+1%3A16&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Col 1:16<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Col+2%3A15&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2:15<\/a>). These powers have already been conquered by Christ on behalf of the church (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Eph+3%3A10&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eph 3:10<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Eph+6%3A10-12&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">6:10\u201312<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Col+2%3A15&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Col 2:15<\/a>) and cannot overpower Christians, only deceive them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>C. Neither the present nor the future.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings in the temporal realm. Nothing that can happen to us today or at any time in the future can separate us from God\u2019s love. This was certainly true of Paul\u2019s life, where the present saw one crisis after another (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=2+Cor+11%3A23-29&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 Cor 11:23\u201329<\/a>) and the future was even more difficult (Romans and 2 Corinthians were written in the period reflected in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Acts+20%3A1-3&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts 20:1\u20133<\/a>; read the rest of Acts as well as the prison and pastoral epistles to trace his \u201cfuture\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>D. Nor any powers.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a single entry, and probably it is intended to sum up the celestial beings. While some have thought of these as \u201cmiracles\u201d (the term is used this way in the Synoptic Gospels, in Acts, and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=1+Cor+12%3A10&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Cor 12:10<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=1+Cor+12%3A28-29&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">28\u201329<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=2+Cor+12%3A12&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 Cor 12:12<\/a>), that is unlikely in this context. It is difficult to know why Paul would add this since the point has already been made. Perhaps spiritual warfare was especially on his mind, or perhaps he wanted to be sure the readers noted it since cosmic powers were not mentioned in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+8%3A31-37&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">verses 31\u201337<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>E. Neither height nor depth.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two possible meanings for this: some (M. Black 1973; K\u00e4semann 1980; Fitzmyer 1993b) note the use of these terms in Greek literature for the heavens above and the subearthly realm and for the beings that inhabit them and so see these as celestial powers. But such a use is not found elsewhere in the New Testament (so Moo 1996), so it is more likely that the emphasis is spatial and refers either to anything above the earth or below it or perhaps anything in heaven or hell. Schreiner (1998:465) argues against such specific connotations and believes this refers metaphorically to the boundless nature of God\u2019s love (compare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Eph+3%3A18&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eph 3:18<\/a> for this use of \u201cheight and depth\u201d). Either way it means that nothing in this world can separate us from God\u2019s love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>F. Nor anything else in all creation.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul wants to make absolutely certain he has left nothing out and so sums up the issue\u2014absolutely nothing in the created world we inhabit can threaten the relationship between God and his children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This inseparable love of God is ours <strong>in Christ Jesus our Lord,<\/strong> with the <strong>in Christ<\/strong> theme once again emphasizing both our union with Christ and our membership in his family (see on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+3%3A24&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 3:24<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+6%3A11&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 6:11<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+6%3A23&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 6:23<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+8%3A1&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 8:1<\/a>). But this longer formula adds a stress on his Lordship. Cranfield (1975:444) points out that this final section of the first half of the book (Romans 5:1\u2014Romans 8:39) is framed by this formula (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+5%3A1&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 5:1<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+8%3A39&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 8:39<\/a>) and that it is also used to conclude several sections (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+5%3A21&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 5:21<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+6%3A23&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 6:23<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+7%3A25&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 7:25<\/a>). Jesus is cosmic Lord, and this guarantees the love of God even further. There is no question that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=Rom+8%3A31-39&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romans 8:31\u201339<\/a> is a magnificent passage on the security of the believer. It is indeed one of the most powerful in all of Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep Reading the IVP New Testament Commentary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"http:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IVPNewTestamentCommentarySeriesBookSetSocial-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IVPNewTestamentCommentarySeriesBookSetSocial-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IVPNewTestamentCommentarySeriesBookSetSocial-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IVPNewTestamentCommentarySeriesBookSetSocial-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IVPNewTestamentCommentarySeriesBookSetSocial-1536x870.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We hoped you were encouraged by this excerpt from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=77385\">IVP New Testament Commentary<\/a>.
