Seperation

ROMANS 8:31-39

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.


WOW!! All time favorite chapter of the Bible. Lets make a list.


What can seperate us from Christ's love:

  • not trouble
  • not hard times
  • not hatred
  • not hunger
  • not homelessness
  • not bullying threats
  • not backstabbing
  • not even the worst sins in the Bible
  • not the living
  • not the dead
  • nothing angelic nor demonic
  • not today
  • not tomorrow
  • not the highest high nor the lowest low
  • nothing thinkable nor unthinkable
  • absolutely nothing will serperate us from the Love of our GOD!!!
COOL! If you don't know this kind of amazing, unbelievable, forgiving love, seek Him today.

Fools put their trust in other things. People let you down. Politicians break their promises. New age fluff leaves you empty. But Jesus is always there. He never fails. He's a sure bet. A done deal. Get on board with the one who will fight through any obsticle for you.
