God's Love

Good Morning,

Romans 8:31-39 (NIV)
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or 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, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In this section of Scripture we have what I think and feel is one of the most powerful truths in the entire Bible. That simple and straight forward truth is: NOTHING can separate us from the love of God.

Are you troubled today? Maybe feel that the world is sort of crashing down around you? Feeling that no one really and truly loves you? Then, these verses...this fact and truth...are what you need to be hanging on to and have permanently etched into your heart and mind.

God loves you. Nothing anyone can do...including you...can separate you from God's love. I like that word...nothing...because it's so very clear and succinct. It can have no other meaning and can't be misconstrued in any way. It firmly tells us what is meant, without any doubt whatsoever.

We all need to know this in our hearts and minds. We need to grasp onto the huge meaning of what Paul is telling us. We truly need to have these words at the tip of our tongues. All day, every day.

God loves you. God loves me. God loves all of us. "The love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
