Romans 8:31-39
Spirit's Help, Divine Purpose, and Unbreakable Love
The Spirit intercedes for our weakness and God works all things toward the good of those called to his purpose (Rom 8:26-30), leading to Paul's climactic assurance that nothing—death, present or future powers, or any creaturely thing—can separate believers from the love of God in Christ (Rom 8:31-39), a passage read variously about predestination (e.g., Calvinist emphasis on particular election and Arminian emphasis on foreknowledge and conditional calling).
