I
just had to share the last few verses of Romans 8.
What
if we lived like we believed we are loved like this?
What
if we told the people around us every day about this kind of love
that's available to them?
Romans
28 And
we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of
those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
31b If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
35 Can
anything ever separate us from Christ's love?
Does
it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble,
or
calamity,
or
are persecuted,
or
hungry,
or
destitute,
or
in danger,
or
threatened with death?
36 (As
the Scriptures say, "For your sake we are killed every
day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.")
37 No,
despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through
Christ, who loved us.
38 And
I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love.
Neither
death nor life,
neither
angels nor demons,
neither
our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow;
not
even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love.
39 No
power in the sky above or in the earth below;
indeed,
nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the
love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Is there anyone reading this that
feels separated from God?
Unlovely?
Unlovable?
Un_______? (you fill in the blank)
Paul says “nothing” can separate
us from God's love.
As in “no thing” (or no one).
Nothing.
