For I Am Persuaded
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
Do you have the determination that is written in today’s verses? To be persuaded that nothing shall separate you from the love of God? The truth found in these two verses are something to hold onto throughout life. These truths have inspired some of our greatest thinkers and teachers of the Word of God to comment on its meaning. These truths are cemented in the New Testament words of Matthew 1:23 “They shall call his name Immanuel, which is translated, “God with us.”
Francis Schaeffer wrote, “Francis Schaeffer wrote, “Nothing in all the universe can separate us from God’s love. It isn’t just the things we see, it’s also the things we don’t see. Supernatural forces, demons, all the forces of hell, the entire hierarchy of evil…. And where does that leave us? It leaves us as ‘more than conquerors through him that loved us.’… If we have truly trusted Christ for eternal life, he assures us that we will never perish, and that nothing can ‘pluck us out of his hand.’ Then, as though this were not assurance enough, he says that nothing can pluck us out of God the Father’s hand either.”
Simply stated, there is nothing happening in your life today that will separate you from the love of God – nothing can even break that bond that holds us firmly in His love. God is with you and He loves you with unconditional love.
