Romans 8:31 - "What shall we then say to these things?"
There are things that need something to be said to them.
1) Certainly, things that oppose the progress of God's will need speaking to.
Zechariah 4:7 - "Who art thou, oh great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain"
Jude 1:9 - "Yet Michael...when contending with the devil...said 'The Lord rebuke thee'"
2) And things that have yet to take their place in God's will need speaking to.
I Kings 13:1,2 - "And, behold, there came a man of God...and he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said 'O altar...men's bones shall be burnt upon thee'"
Matthew 21:21 - "...if ye shall say unto this mountain 'Be thou removed'...it shall be done"
But here in Romans 8:31, it is the work of God that we are to speak to...or actually speak from!
vs. 14 - "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God"
vs. 15 - "...ye have received the Spirit of adoption"
vs. 16 - "The Spirit itself beareth witness..."
vs. 26 - "The Spirit itself maketh intercession..."
vss. 27-30 - "...he that searcheth the hearts...did foreknow...did predestinate...called...justified...glorified."
How shall we react to these things...what shall we say because of these things that God has done and is doing for us?
"WHO CAN BE AGAINST US"...that is what we shall say!
