Main point summary
Because Jesus, my defense attorney, died and rose and pleads His blood and righteousness over me before His Father the judge, there is therefor now NO CONDEMNATION for me because the Judge has declared me righteous! And, I cannot be separated from Jesus because His intercession sustains me through ALL THINGS and makes me MORE THAN A CONQUERER THROUGH THE SUFFERING!!!

No trial or tribulation, no dire situation, no persecution, no starvation from poverty, no nakedness from poverty, no immanent danger, not even death by the sword can separate us from the love of Christ!

Just as it is written, “ a For Your sake we are being put to death all day long ; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered .”
We are being treated JUST LIKE your people in Psalm 44.

Jesus died for me and pleads my case to the Father who is the judge!
Therefor, NOTHING can separate me from Christ's love for me. In fact, through Jesus, the sufferings I face, God works for my good such that I overwhelmingly conquer!!
God the judge had declared me righteous, so no one can bring a charge against me or condemn me!!!
discourse
Notes
The judge, who is God Himself, has declared us innocent by grace through faith! The defense attorney, which happens to be the beloved SON of the Judge, pleads our case before the Judge! The defense attorney already died for our charges and paid for our crimes and has released us from all charges! The defense attorney LOVES us as His beloved bride!!! The JUDGE loves us enough to send His beloved Son, the defense attorney, to die for us!!! So when trials and suffering and death come, KNOW that they are not punishment from God {IF WE ARE IN CHRIST BY FAITH}. GOD IS SOOOOOOOOO FOR US!!! He is working all things, up to and including our death, for our good!!! It is all on the path toward ETERNAL GLORIFICATION!!!! IN the suffering, THROUGH the suffering, WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS!!!
