nothing can separate us from the love of God

[moIchiDo]

Rom 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword? But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor things present nor things to come nor powers . Nor height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



We are not defeated; we more than conquer because God loves
us. Why does God care so much for us and do so many things
for us? Simply because we are His beloved. No one can
separate us from His love. Once He loves us, He loves us
forever with an eternal love. Nothing can separate us from
Him. Because He loves us and because we are His beloved,
sooner or later we all shall be sanctified, transformed,
conformed, and glorified.

Paul touched upon this love in 5:8 when he said that “God
commends His own love to us in that while we were yet sinners
Christ died for us.” When we believed in Jesus, the Holy
Spirit poured out God's love into our hearts (5:5). Paul was
persuaded that nothing can separate us from the love of God
because he knew that this love does not derive from nor
depend upon us, but upon God Himself. This love was not
initiated by us; it was initiated by God in eternity. Because
of this Paul could say that we conquer in all things. Paul
was convinced that nothing can “separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
