The scriptures. May God bless the reading of His holy word.

“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.”

Romans 8:35-39

This ends today’s reading from God's holy word. Thanks be to God.

Good news abounds in the eighth chapter of Romans.

We learn that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

We’re assured that the Holy Spirit is at work interceding for us in the midst of our weakness and that God is always working things for the good of those who love Him, those called according to His purposes.

And we’re reminded that God is with us and for us because of our belief in Jesus and because of this, no one can stand against us as He justifies and pardons us from our sins.

Indeed, we are victorious through our faith and trust in Jesus as Savior and this is the final piece of good news we find as we close this chapter. Look again at these final words from Paul, words that serve to buoy us up in abundant, everlasting hope:

“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.”  Romans 8:35-39

Friends, we all should proclaim, “Hallelujah!” in response to these verses. For the scriptures, which are inerrant and perfectly true, tell us that nothing in this world can pull us apart from the love of God we have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Not trouble or trials.

Not hardship or difficulty or challenge.

Not persecution, injustice, or inequitable treatment.

Not famine, drought, or lack of any basic need like clothing, shelter, or food.

Not a single threat or danger.

Not death or life, the present or the future.

Not angels or demons.

Not any worldly powers or principalities.

No height, no depth, or anything else in all of creation.

Nothing means nothing, for not one thing can ever separate us from God’s love as expressed to us through Christ Jesus, the One who makes us more than conquerors. This is because Christians triumph in ways non-believers can’t. They overcome death and the grave to enter into a new eternal life with God and Jesus forever.

In other words, Christians have an inseparable bond with their Father God and His Son Jesus, the One through which they are saved.

Let us give thanks for this final bit of good news, now and forever more.

Amen.

In Christ,

Mark
