Inseparable!
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
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: 38-39
The truth found in these two verses has inspired some
of our greatest thinkers and teachers of the Word of
God to comment on its meaning.
Francis Schaeffer wrote, “Nothing in all the universe can
separate us from God’s love. It isn’t just the things we see,
it’s also things we don’t see. Supernatural forces, demons,
all the forces of hell, the entire hierarchy of evil….
And where does that leave us? It leaves us as ‘more than
conquerors through him that loved us.’… If we have truly
trusted Christ for eternal life, he assures us that we
will
never perish, and that nothing can ‘pluck us out of his
hand.’
Then, as though this were not assurance enough,
he says that nothing can pluck us out of God the
Father’s hand either.”
Simply stated, we are inseparable from the loving
arms of God, nothing can ever break the bond that
holds us firmly in His love.
"If you have trusted Christ, nothing can separate
you from His love, and nothing can separate you
from God the Father’s love."
Francis Schaeffer
