REFLECTIVE READING TEMPLATE


Reflective Reading Passage: __Romans 8:31-39____________________

Use this template and the course texts The Inquisitive Christ and Approaching the New
Testament to record brief notes for each step of the reflective reading process.

Step One: Prepare

Use this space to understand the key elements of context to your passage. Consulting and citing
Approaching the New Testament, please complete the contextual information according to the
information found in the course textbook:

By consulting and citing Approaching the New Testament, who is the author of this biblical book
(in 2-3 sentences)?

Paul is the author of this book—a disciple of Jesus—the Apostle of Gentiles and Jews.

By consulting and citing Approaching the New Testament, when was this biblical book written
(in 1 sentence)?

Around AD 55

By consulting and citing Approaching the New Testament, what is the overall theme of the book
(in 2-3 sentences)?

“Enacted Loyalty” is the overall theme. How committing to Jesus has life altering effects.

Step Two: Read

Utilizing either a translation of choice or creating a paraphrase of your own, use this space to
re-write the full passage of scripture. Please do not copy and paste from an existing translation,
but rather, write out the passage word-by-word in order to slowly reflect on the content.

What shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He
who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also
graciously give us all things with Him? Who can bring any charge against God’s elect? It is
God who justifies. Who is it that condemns? It is Christ who died, yes, and was raised

again, who is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. Who can separate us from the
love of Christ? Will tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, or
sword?

As it is written, "For Your sake, we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to
be slaughtered." No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who
loved us, for I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor
powers, nor present nor future things, nor height nor depth, nor any other creature will be
able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Step Three: Reflect

Use this space to answer the following questions. Consult The Inquisitive Christ for insight into
pertinent Gospel texts.

If there is dialogue in the passage, who is speaking (in 1 complete sentence)?

Paul is speaking to Jews and Gentiles.

What questions are asked in the passage? Please list all questions located in the passage.

What, then, are we to say about these things? Who is against us? How will He not grant us
everything? Who can bring an accusation? Who condemns? Who can separate us from the
Love of Christ? Can any affliction?

How would you answer each of the questions asked (in at least 3 sentences)?

These are not questions for us to answer. They are questions that make a statement or
point about what Paul is saying.

What words or phrases stand out to you, and why? Are any words/themes repeated? If so, share
why you think there is repetition. Please answer with at least 3 sentences.

God is the one who justifies. He is the only one who can bring Justice and peace.

What questions do you have as you read this passage? If you have no questions, please explain
why this might be the case.

How did Paul become our Apostle today and not one of the others?

Step Four: Pray

Use this space to formulate a prayer to God, dialoguing with Him about what he may be
speaking to you in this passage:

Father, I pray that you will open my mind and heal my blindness to questions about you
and life.

Step Five: Respond

Use this space to contemplate how God may be asking you to respond to this passage in your life
with him:

I need to remember that God is justified in everything He does, even if it is outside my


time schedule.
