Romanos 8:37 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 8:37

Nay, in all these things
The former words being inserted in a parenthesis, these are an answer to the question in ( Romans 8:35 ) , "what shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation?" &c. "nay", it shall not, nor any of the other things mentioned: "in all these things"; afflictions, distresses, persecutions, famine, nakedness, sword, or any other thing of the same kind:

we are more than conquerors;
not only over sin and Satan, but the world, the reproaches, afflictions, and persecutions of it; which they cheerfully and courageously undergo, insomuch that they are not only conquerors, but "more than conquerors": they have above overcome, they have exceedingly the better of it; for they not only patiently bear afflictions and persecutions, but they glory in them; their experience, faith, and joy, are often increased by them; they have sometime solicited, and even wearied their persecutors; they have got the victory with ease, over Satan and his hellish emissaries, by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony: but this is not owing to themselves, or through their own strength, but

through him that loved us;
meaning either God the Father, whose love is mentioned in the following verses, or rather the Lord Jesus Christ; and so some copies express it, "through Christ that loved us": "through him", who has got the victory over all his and his people's enemies, and makes them sharers in his conquests; "through him", who is able to help them, and has strength sufficient to carry them through, and brings them off more than conquerors; who has loved them, still loves them, and whose love engages his power to stand by them and protect them against all their enemies.

Romanos 8:37 In-Context

35 ¿Acaso hay algo que pueda separarnos del amor de Cristo? ¿Será que él ya no nos ama si tenemos problemas o aflicciones, si somos perseguidos o pasamos hambre o estamos en la miseria o en peligro o bajo amenaza de muerte?

36 (Como dicen las Escrituras: «Por tu causa nos matan cada día; nos tratan como a ovejas en el matadero»
).

37 Claro que no, a pesar de todas estas cosas, nuestra victoria es absoluta por medio de Cristo, quien nos amó.

38 Y estoy convencido de que nada podrá jamás separarnos del amor de Dios. Ni la muerte ni la vida, ni ángeles ni demonios,
ni nuestros temores de hoy ni nuestras preocupaciones de mañana. Ni siquiera los poderes del infierno pueden separarnos del amor de Dios.

39 Ningún poder en las alturas ni en las profundidades, de hecho, nada en toda la creación podrá jamás separarnos del amor de Dios, que está revelado en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.
