Romans 8:38-39–"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
It is more than a mere comfort to consider the reality of this verse. Simple words cannot adequately convey the deep and awesome nature of God's great love for us that He showed in Christ Jesus. In short, the love of God is the very definition of satisfaction, joy, fulfillment, peace, worth, happiness, destiny, purpose, and hope. It is then of supreme solace to know that nothing can separate us from the love of God that we find in Christ Jesus. Of course, this presumes that we already have a relationship with God through Jesus.
For those of you who do cannot say with confidence that you have a definite relationship with Jesus I would encourage you to consider the life of Jesus this Easter. I pray that you would come to know the great love God has for us in His Son. For those of us that do have this relationship, however, this passage is one that offers strength and encouragement for our lives. We would do well to let this become a stabling backing to undergird our lives in Christ, knowing that in Him we will always know the love of God.
