The Divine Courtroom
Commentators explain this verse uses legal language, like a scene in a divine courtroom. Paul asks a rhetorical question: 'Who can bring a successful accusation against God's chosen people?' The answer is no one. Potential accusers like Satan, the law, or our own conscience are silenced because the Supreme Judge, God Himself, has already declared the verdict: 'Justified.'
