These verses continue after Paul has convincingly argued that God is for us. If God is for us, who can be against us? He mentioned how the Holy Spirit prays for us, how God works all things for our good, and how Jesus pleads for us. With all these things happening for us, who can be against us? Who can accuse us of not being in right standing with God? Now, in Romans 8:35-39, Paul flips the question and considers what happens when bad things occur. Do we allow these bad things to make us question if God actually loves us?
