Totally Persuaded

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,

"For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 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.

This is a promise of promises found in Romans 8:35-39. Paul is totally persuaded that he will never reach the limits of the love of God and then step over. In Jesus Christ there are no limits to His love, there are no circumstances in which God stops loving you. If you are in Christ, you are a child of God. God loves his Son infinitely and therefore you infinitely. To stop loving you would mean that he must stop loving His Son, and that is not going to happen.

Are you totally persuaded? I know as I read this passage again this morning it took on fresh meaning in the middle of all the transition. No matter what I am doing, no matter where I am, I am loved by God. I am in Jesus Christ! Amen!

Be totally persuaded of God's love in Christ Jesus! Rest in that truth!
