Only You Can Separate Yourself From God.

Rom 8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 

Rom 8:32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 

Rom 8:33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 

Rom 8:34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 

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? 

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. 

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

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 separate us from Christ Jesus our LORD, nothing can separate us from the LOVE of GOD.

Do you believe this? You should.  The ONLY thing that CAN separate us… I know, it sounds contradictory because I just said NOTHING can separate us, but I was wrong. I should have said, NOTHING other than ourselves can separate us from the love of God found in Christ Jesus our Lord. We CAN separate ourselves from the love of God. We can't stop His loving us and wanting to redeem us, wanting to claim us as His, but we can choose to stop loving God. We can choose to invite God to hate the sin in us, and us. God hates sin, and if we are advocate for sin then we are inviting God to hate us. We may have a propensity for sinning, but that NEVER means we have to advocate for sin. We never have to accept sin, we never have to desire to sin.  We can either seek forgiveness, and repent - choosing to desire to obey our God who is LOVE, or we can choose to seek NOT to choose God. We can separate ourselves from God. Don't EVER think you can't separate yourself from God because you can. One of Satan's many evil deceptions is the false belief that we can't separate ourselves from God once we are born anew to Him. Some people truly believe that once they accepted Christ that sealed the deal and nothing will change that, not a single thing. They can sin all they want, but they won't lose their salvation. God does NOT work that way! We have to know that we can choose at any moment of our life to leave God's love. God forbid that we ever choose to leave the love of God.

Nothing externally can separate us from God's love, not a single thing. PRAISE GOD!
