Romans 8 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. Beginning in Romans 8:31, Paul asks us five sets of penetrating questions before we get to the resounding climax: nothing can separate us from the love of God!

5 Questions

1. 31: What then shall we say to these things? Who can be against us?
2. 32: How shall He [God] not with Him [Jesus] also freely give us all things?
3. 33: Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect?
4. 34: Who is he who condemns?
5. 35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

Questions can transform our walk with God.
