THE LOVE OF GOD

Romans 8:35-39

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Encouraging Words

Paul makes it very clear that we can hold on to the promises of God for He will never allow us to be separated from His love ever again. Jesus destroyed the bondage that sin had on us and the consequences of death that were the result of that sin. Jesus died so that we could live. He became man so that we could become children of God, striving to be like Him. He gave us the gift of eternal life. Glory be to God!
