“US” by D. G. Miles McKee “If God be for us who can be against us ?" -Romans 8:31 [KJV] What a wonderful statement! But the question arises, who are those favoured people mentioned in our verse? Who exactly are the “US”? The Epistle to the Romans shows that the “US” are people who, 'having been justified by faith have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.’ (Romans 8:1). Are you one of the “US”? Furthermore, the “US” are those who were once God’s enemies but now are reconciled to God by the death of His Son (Romans 5:10). Also, the “US” are the ones to whom the Spirit bears witness that they are the children of God (Romans 8:16). Then again, the “US” are those who rejoice in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:2). They can and do look forward to heavenly glory saying, "If God be for us, who can be against us?” There can be no doubt that God is on the side of His redeemed, reconciled, and regenerated people. He is for us. Painfully difficult
