Since sinners have no right to divine compassion, God bestows it freely on those He chooses to bestow it. None should charge Him with injustice for granting saving mercy to some and not to others. Instead, He deserves adoration and obedience because of His infinite goodness to the undeserving.

God is faithful and His promises never fail. Paul underscores this truth to assure his audience that God will save His elect among the Jews despite the nation’s rejection of the Gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ.  

The three miracles (the healing of the leper, the centurion’s servant, and Peter’s mother-in-law) reinforce the absolute authority and power of Jesus Christ in Matthew 8:1-17. He heals regardless of the severity of the disease or the distance of the sufferer. These healings result from the cross of Christ where He heals our greatest disease […]

  God pronounces us not guilty by faith in Christ alone. Further, Christ died, rose, and ascended into heaven to intercede for us. These assurances form an essential part of Paul’s closing argument on the security of Christian salvation in Romans 8:31–39. Video

The climactic and profoundly rich text, Romans 8:31–39, offers unsurpassed consolation and reassurance for all God’s children. Ponder, for example, the enormously significant disclosure: God is for us.  

The hope of God’s people rests on the firmest foundation because God’s decision to save them was not a spur-of-the-moment call. Instead, Paul traces our salvation to eternity and the unalterable plan of God.
