“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 8:37-39 NIV
What are you standing on in your life, what are you believing? The answer will define not only your life now but forever. What you believe will shape and mold you and will become either something of great power or just a concession you make in life. My hope for everyone reading this devotion is that you find the passion and hope in these verses today.
These words showcase Paul’s conclusion and faith in His Lord! Having been through more persecution than we today could imagine, Paul’s statement about His God is his testimony to the great love he found with God. He understood that through his trials, with God he had become something greater than himself, a conqueror by God’s power.
He also found that no matter the circumstances, his God was always with him. Nothing he encountered, no situation, nor power or influence would separate him from the love of God! Jesus was with him no matter what. So, his life was no longer what mattered but his life in Christ was his primary goal.
When you begin to believe as Paul did, your faith will be catapulted to new levels and your understanding will be as his, nothing can separate us from the love of God through Christ Jesus – nothing!
In Christ
