Who can condemn God's elect?

Answered in 2 sources

No one can condemn God's elect because it is God who justifies them through Christ's sacrifice.

The question 'Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?' found in Romans 8:33 reflects the assurance of justification that all believers possess. As stated in Romans 8:34, it is Christ who died, and more importantly, who is risen again, that secures our justification. This implies that all claims against the elect are rendered powerless because Jesus has satisfied divine justice by bearing the penalty for sin. Furthermore, Paul reassures that there is 'no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus' (Romans 8:1), which underscored that the guilt of sin, both original and actual, has been fully dealt with. Thus, believers stand secure in the righteousness of Christ, shielded from any condemnation.
