Book Synopsis

Passage-by-Passage Exploration of Romans 8 Explains How One of the Greatest Chapters of Scripture Offers the Greatest Assurance for Believers

Many believers trust Christ yet quietly wonder whether our salvation is secure. Others know they are saved, yet assume God's commitment to us is more out of obligation than desire--as though he welcomes them into his neighborhood but not into his home. Yet Scripture portrays God's love as something far greater: believers can rest in a love that existed before time itself, endures through every trial, and will carry us safely home forever. We belong to God, and he will never change his mind about us.

God Is for Us helps believers understand their security in Christ, affirming the reality that there is no condemnation and no separation from God's love. In each chapter, pastor Drew Hunter explores a passage from Romans 8, helping believers grasp the personal, transformational, and enduring love of God so they can respond with joyful obedience. Giving context to some of the most well-known verses from this chapter, Hunter explains how God's love sets us free, gives us hope, and never lets us go.
