Nothing Can Separate Us From God's Love

Romans
{8:38} For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come
{8:39} Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Neither death.
Nor life.
Nor angels.
Nor principalities.
Nor powers.
Nor things present.
Nor things to come.
Nor height.
Nor depth.
Nor any other creature.


Not death.
Not life.
Not angels.
Not principalities.
Not powers.
Not things present.
Not things to come.
Not height.
Not depth.
Not any other creature.


Nothing! Not a single thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Not a single thing except- our choice.


We can separate ourselves but nothing ouside of us can, nothing.


We tend to think it's very easy to get rid of God's love. That God will desert us in our greatest time of need, that He's made everything so hard that it's near impossible to be with Him. We want to believe that so we can somehow absolve ourselves of responsibility and place it all on God. He's the bad guy, we're innocent, we can't help that we are sinners we were born this way. The trouble with all that is it's not true. Our warped perceptions come because it's easier for us to blame someone else, much easier than feeling the weight of sin on ourselves.


God's love transcends death. We may die but He will raise us again immortal one day because of His love.
God's love transcends life. We may live our lives day to day struggling to get by and in all our lives- in our happiness, our disappointments, our heartaches, and our joys God's love is there. God's love doesn't disappear it lives.
God's love transcends angels. Angels can't take God's love from us, of course only evil angels would try.
God's love transcends principalities. There is no authority at all that can stop God's love.
God's love transcends powers. Not a single power can usurp God's love.
God's love transcends things present. God's love goes beyond the now.
God's love transcends things to come. Nothing can take God'd love from us, nothing at all.
God's love transcends all heights, all depths, all creatures!


God's love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


This amazing love is a spiritual love and our carnal selves cannot understand such a thing. We have to let the part in us that is spiritual connect to the Spirit of God.


We have to be persuaded that there is NOTHING that can separated from God. NOTHING, because it's true.


God's love is amazing. It goes beyond feelings which are temporal. It's factual, it's real, it is the Great I Am.


We have to believe, we have to have hope that goes beyond everything, every thought we have has to be tempered with the truth of God's everlasting love in Jesus.


May God have mercy on us, may His grace fill us now and forever!


Amen


“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”- 2 Corinthians 5:21
