A Triumphant Conclusion
Commentators see this verse as a triumphant climax to Paul's argument. Having just detailed God's unbreakable plan of salvation (foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, glorification), Paul asks the logical follow-up question. The declaration that 'God is for us' is the ultimate conclusion, providing an unshakable foundation for the believer's confidence.
