Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, nothing!

Rom 8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Can ANYTHING separate us from the love of Christ? NO!

Not a single thing has that power, only WE have that power. Only we choose to let things interfere, only we choose to separate ourselves from our Savior.  There isn't a single tribulation that can force us from Christ.  There doesn't exist any distress that can tear us from the love of our Savior.  Not one bit of persecution in any form is able in and of itself to take Christ's love from us.  No nakedness, no peril, no sword can remove Christ's love from us, it's just not possible!

When we make the choice in our grief, in our pain, in our agony, in our torturous existence to stop believing in the love of Christ it isn't any of the outside forces weighing upon us that cause that to happen. We make the choice to believe that we are no longer loved, or no longer want to love because our lives are not going the way we want them to, the way we expect a loving God to allow them too. And while we choose to stop believing it's not Christ choosing to leave us, not at all. He will never stop loving us, never. 

We have to comprehend that if we choose to love our Savior that we've made ourselves an enemy that will try to do all he can, in any way he can, to get us to separate ourselves from the love of Christ. 

So while we may say that God abandoned us when He chose to let someone we love get hurt or worse, or when our lives fall apart financially, it doesn't matter the calamity, we love to blame God for it all and it's NOT true, HE CAN'T ABANDON US, not if we choose to LOVE HIM.

NOTHING can separate us from the love of Christ, nothing.

Rom 8:36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

We are killed all the day long.
Accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

For the SAKE of God.

Shall our persecution separate us from God, from the love of Christ?  NO. Nothing, not even being killed will separate us from the love of Christ!

We are followers of our Savior and as such we will suffer for that. We will suffer, and if not by living in a place where people outright persecute us then the spiritual persecution will be just as intense, our suffering is the price we pay by angering the prince of this world- Satan.

Yet NO persecution can take Christ's love from us and this is something we MUST believe.

Rom 8:37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

We are MORE than conquerors through Christ! 

More than conquerors!!!!!!!

Those suffering- 

-tribulation
distress
persecution
 famine
nakedness
 peril
sword-

are  more than conquerors through Christ who loves them!

The world, Satan, would have us believe that those who suffer such things are suffering the displeasure of God being rejected by Him, not loved by Him. The world, Satan, would have us believe that we are LOSERS not conquerors when we suffer.  We will be laughed at, ridiculed, despised if we dare believe that we are CONQUERORS (winners) when we are so obviously suffering.

The world, Satan, have convinced people to believe that winners are not those who suffer.  That prosperity should cover the followers of Christ, the righteous of God should not be among those who are afflicted constantly, but the TRUTH is the followers of Christ will suffer all manner of afflictions even to death.  The followers of Christ are not those who aren't afflicted but those who choose to believe in the LOVE of Christ no matter what they are called to suffer.

We are MORE than winners THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD and SAVIOR, WHO LOVES US!

PRAISE GOD!

Spiritual conquerors, not flesh conquerors.

The Spiritual cannot be afflicted to the point of being able to force a separation from the love of CHRIST.

Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 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.

NOTHING can take Christ's love from us, not one single thing in existence.

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

SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!

What amazing love!

PRAISE GOD!
