For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:36 Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were counted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Romans 8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
Romans 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The verse centers on "created", "convinced", "neither", "death", "life", "angels", "rulers", and "things". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "created" and "convinced", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The prior verse says "But in all these things we overwhelmingly...", giving immediate footing for "created" and "convinced". In Romans context, the local focus is righteousness by faith, union with Christ, life in the Spirit, and God's covenant faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "created" and "convinced" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
