“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us
from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our
fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can
separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed,
nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God
that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” –Romans 8:38-39 (NLT)
If you read this blog with any sort of regularity, then
it has become rather obvious to you that I believe what the Bible says. I am
such a radical believer of the Bible that I hold to the “theory” that the earth
was created by God in six literal,
24-hour days and that the earth is relatively young. I also hold to the
belief that there was a world-wide flood that wiped out all life on this planet
save for two of every kind of animal and several pairs of birds as well as 8
human beings, namely, Noah, his wife, his sons and their wives. I further
believe that when the Bible tells us something about God, we should take it as
the truth and put our faith in that.
So because I believe these things, it shouldn’t come as
any shock to you that I believe that God loves me…and you, too. The verses you
just read above from Romans 8 seem to be telling us that God’s love is about as
strong a thing as there is. Nothing can take it away from us. Fear cannot take
God’s love away from us, worry cannot take it from us, the power of hell cannot
take it, and not even death can take God’s love away from us.
So that being said, I think it is safe to say that God’s
love will never run out, it will never leave us, it will never be gone, and it
will always be there.
So if I may, let me encourage you with this simple
truth, that will never, EVER change…
GOD LOVES YOU!
Hope that helps you today, and we’ll see you on Sunday!
