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."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I love this passage. "...in all these things we're more than conquerors through him who loved us." It's easy to say that God loves us. It's easy to think in our heads that He does. But it's hard to believe it for ourselves, and act according to our believes. I know that God loves me anyhow. There's nothing more, or less, that I can do to increase or lessen His love for me. But it still takes faith to live out what I believe. I find that every time as I step out in faith, God reveals Himself to me, and allows me to love and believe in Him more. He has never failed me. It's so true that NOTHING can separate us from the love of Christ.
