NOTHING CAN DO IT!
I wrote recently
That Romans chapter 8=
Is one of MY most
Favorite writings=in the bible=
And it is
Partly because of what
It says in
Romans 8:38-39=
In answer to this question=
“What will SEPARATE US
From the
LOVE of Christ?” Romans 8:35
Paul's answer seems UNIMAGINABLE=
He presents a number of
POSSIBILITIES=and then dwells on each
“For I am convinced
That neither death-nor life
Neither angels-nor demons
Neither the present-
Not 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” Romans 8:38-39
Got that=not anything
NOTHING CAN DO IT!
NOTHING can separate us
From God's love
Not the Corona virus=
Not social unrest=
NOT earthquakes or hurricanes
NOTHING!
I find SOLACE in Paul's answer=
I cannot wrap myself
Around the VASTNESS of
God's or Christ's love
NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US
From the love of God
“For forty years
You sustained them
In the wilderness=
THEY LACKED NOTHING” Nehemiah 9:21
“Ah-Sovereign Lord
You have made the heavens
And the earth
By your great power
And outstretched arm
NOTHING IS=too hard for you” Jeremiah 32:17
EVEN those that don't
Believe in God=that think
We are FOOLS
For being Christians
God still loves them!
NOTHING=separates us from our God
NOT according to Saint Paul=
Nothing can break
The BOND of salvation
In Christ's love
“I am the vine
You are the branches
If you remain in me
And I in you
You will bear
Much fruit
Apart from me
You can DO NOTHING” John 15:5
Jesus asks us to
LOVE everyone unconditionally
Some may REJECT US=
But we must love then=
We must REMAIN COMPASSIONATE
We are part of
The BODY of Christ=
We must love each other
Just like Jesus
NOTHING CAN DO IT!
Nothing can SEPARATE US
From Christ's love
In the name of Jesus=and our FOREVER LOVING FATHER
