Nothing can separate us from the love of God

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” Romans 8:35-36

The love of Christ is incomparable and inconceivable. Who or what can separate us from the love of Christ? Paul lists a litany of disasters, none of which can effect a separation between Christ and the believer. Actually, far from weakening the bonds of love, trouble and hardship strengthen them. Persecution drives the true believer to the arms of the one who knows suffering. Famine and nakedness are powerless to affect the love of Christ. Danger and the sword lose their terror in view of the presence of the one in whom we find safety. Few things are certain in this world; however, praise God, His love is one that is.
