Week 45: Nothing can separate us from the love of God

Nothing can separate us from the love of God




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


This is one of those really monumental biblical passages. The apostle could have written that nothing can separate us from the love of God, but somebody would have said, “But what about this?” So Paul spoke in expansive terms of what could not separate us from God’s love. “I am absolutely sure that neither the realm of death nor life, which covers all of existence, can do it. Nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers— all spirit beings, whether holy or unholy. Nor things present; nor things to come, which covers all of time, both now and in the future. 


And just in case that doesn’t cover it, there’s nothing all the way up into infinity, there’s nothing all the way down into infinite depth, and there isn’t any other created thing that can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.” There is nothing in the created universe that can change your eternal relationship to God if you are in Christ Jesus our Lord. You can know this: the One who justified you, the One who sanctifies you, will one day glorify you. 


He will bring all His sons to glory. This is because God loves us with an everlasting love, and we are hidden with Christ in God’s love.
