God is For You Part 3 - Romans 8:33-34 - Pastor Dan Roth

Main message: God is for believers — because Christ died, rose, and now intercedes for us, we are justified and should not live under condemnation. Trust Jesus’ finished work, respond in repentance and faith, and rely on the Spirit rather than the accuser’s lies.

Key points:

• Romans 8 frames the assurance: God justifies us, so no charge or condemnation ultimately stands against God's elect.
• Christ’s death and resurrection remove the basis for Satan’s accusations; Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father making intercession for believers.
• Feeling guilty after sin is conviction from the Holy Spirit (not divine condemnation); confessing and repenting brings forgiveness and cleansing (1 John 1:9).
• The devil is the accuser (Revelation, Job), but his charges are like worn-out clothing against God’s declaration of “not guilty.”
• Practical response: repent, receive Christ (be born again), forgive yourself, read Scripture, pray, and stay connected to the church for ongoing growth and accountability.
