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.
Fear is one of Satan’s most common weapons. He will use the fear of all sorts of impending evil to try to cause us to lose faith and hope. This passage reminds us that all these dangers cannot separate us from God’s love. In fact, we are more than conquerors, more than just survivors. We can be thoroughly victorious through Jesus Christ, the One who loves us. There is nothing in this life, the spiritual world and even death itself that can separate us from the love of God. I know at times the future looks fearful. Let’s remind ourselves of the One who loves us, the One who protects us, the One who will see us safely home. We are safe in the face of danger. We will come through with overwhelming victory, through the love and power of Jesus Christ.
