"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: 39
A recurring plot of romance movies is a couple
separated after high school or college who are
then unexpectedly reunited many years later.
Predictably, their love is rekindled, and their
romance is restored.
What the pair discovers is that nothing had
dampened their original love. Not time nor
distance nor their careers—had managed
to separate them when it came to love.
This theme is biblical at its
core.
In Romans 8:35, Paul asks, “Who shall separate
us from the love of Christ?” Then, in verse 39 he
concludes: “Nothing shall be able to separate
us
from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.”
In verses 35-38 he provides a list of more than
fifteen circumstances and events which might
seem powerful enough to separate us
from
God’s love. But nothing is as powerful as
the love of God.
Don’t ever think there is something
that comes between you and God.
Nothing is stronger than His
love.
"None walk so evenly with God
as they that are assured of the
love of God."
