Daily Bible Nugget #441, Romans 8:33

The Nugget:

Rom 8:33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 

My Comment:

We may sometimes encounter other people who have a decided, critical or antagonistic opinion against us.  I am often reminded of the playground taunt I heard children say to each other, “It takes one to know one.”  It seems that those who judge other people often see in them a problem that they have themselves.

But if we truly belong to Christ, and are living for Him according to His Word, God has made us righteous in reality, and we should exhibit lives that are not really open to criticism from a moral standpoint most of the time.

We should all be open to correction and constructive suggestions from others when they are in a position where their expertise or experience lend validity to what they have to tell us for our good.

We have the promise from God that He is in charge and if we follow Him according to the directions in His Word, no one will ultimately have anything to say against us.  Even Satan is not able to make the charges he claims against us stick.  In any case, our Lord Jesus Christ is right now at the right hand of God making intercession for us (Romans 8:34).

Using cross references usually deepens our understanding when we take the time to read them.  Below are the cross references I have collected in my new Bible study software program, The Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury, for Romans 8:33,
