Favorite Bible Passages

Romans 8
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

One of our pastors said that the above passage was one of his favorites. And indeed, this passage seems to somehow match his personality.  Most, if not all, of us, Christians, have a favorite Bible passage, that passage that guides us through the day. A favorite passage defines our beliefs and defines who we profoundly are.

As fate would have it, my favorite Bible passage, with a very different view, is also in Romans 8:

More From Romans 8
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
