The Significance of Framing Questions

In Romans 38 verses 28 to 39, there is a series of rapid-fire questions that frame the passage. The repeated use of the interrogative pronoun 'who' in these questions is significant. It emphasizes that all opposition faced by Christians and their relationship with Jesus is ultimately rooted in someone, the evil one, rather than in things or events. This understanding affirms that if God is for us, no one who is against us can prevail, including Satan.
