Love That Never Fails

Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Blessings, in the love of Christ

Praise the Lord this was a nice article that you wrote. Nothing will separate us from Him. The righteous need not fear any separation. But those who reject His plan of salvation are separated. His righteousness demands that unrighteousness be confronted.

Justice is applicable in man’s keeping of the prophecy. Holiness and righteousness demand there be justice on all which is contrary. Scripture identifies justice in regards to man’s experience in his fallen state. Man is judged according to his adherence to the law. The law was given to define that which is holy and that which is unholy.

Jesus is the perfect one to whom the law leads and He judges according to the law. Scripture states that although the law is not unjust, man questions if the holiness which was to be their life is now to their damnation. “And the commandment which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.” (Rom 7:10) Sin so that it may achieve its purpose in separating man from God worked mightily to oppose the law.

Death is justified due to sin and empowered due to man’s indwelling sin. When man is accused it is sin that provides Satan the basis to approach God’s throne. “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid…” (Rom 7:7) “Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid” (Rom 7:13) All pertaining to God is just, holy and true.

Man is without excuse and it is pointless for him to seek justification apart from having his sin forgiven by the blood of Jesus. As demonstrated by the twenty four elders in the book of Revelation we have a new song. Our new song can only be sung by us for there is none other that has the testimony of the church. “…For thou was slain, and has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” (Rev 5:9)

Question: Sin purposes to separate you from God. What aggressive steps can you take to make sure that you have victory over sin?
