“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:38-39 (ESV)
In our 90 Seconds yesterday, the question was asked if there was anything at all that could separate us from the Love of Jesus Christ. Paul declares us to more than conquerors of the threats that come our way. He then goes on in our verses today to declare his conviction that nothing in all creation is able to separate us from the love of God. God loves us. Our Father God's love for us is the same as His love for Jesus His Son because we are in His Son Christ Jesus. This is an amazing promise and one that we can cling to while facing the tests that we encounter. Look again at what is covered that might threaten separation – nine forces plus, anything else in ALL creation. Nothing — however dark or hard — can separate us from him. We who have believed and received Jesus as our Lord and Savior cannot be separated and are secure in His love. Not only that, but all things now work for us. Let's rejoice in our security today.
