Episode notes
Opposition Is Personal Not Impersonal
- Paul frames Romans 8:31–35 with repeated personal questions using 'who' not 'what'.
- This highlights opposition to believers is personal, not merely circumstantial.
Trials Point To A Personal Adversary
- Paul lists trials like tribulation and famine but still asks who will separate us.
- This shows that external hardships are manifestations of a personal adversary rather than ultimate causes.
Satan As The Root Of Opposition
- The 'who' behind opposition is the evil one, Satan, the accuser of our brothers.
- Paul argues that if God is for us, no personal enemy can ultimately prevail.
