Romans 8:38-39Verse of the Day
“I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love, which Christ Jesus our Lord shows us. We can’t be separated by death or life, by angels or rulers, by anything in the present or anything in the future, by forces or powers in the world above or in the world below, or by anything else in creation.”Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV)
Love is one of God’s core attributes. In fact, God is love (1 John 4:8). The story of redemption is a story of love: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” (John 3:16).
God’s love is so vast that when the apostle Paul prayed for the Ephesian church, he asked that they would be able to grasp how wide, long, high, and deep His love is (Ephesians 3:18).
With all this in mind, it’s beyond amazing to know that nothing can separate us from this wonderful love of God. We are eternally secure in His love. He loved us even while we were still in sin. So even sin cannot stop Him from loving us.
The key question, then, is this: what is your response to God’s love? “We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Our response should be to love God in return.
Pray and ask God to help you understand just how great His love truly is.
