Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: Romans 8:35 The Message

If anyone should have worried about whether God would abandon him or not, it was the Apostle Paul. Before Christ, he was furiously trying to arrest and persecute men and women who were believers and followers of Jesus. His zealous-law-keeping-righteousness allowed him to oversee the execution of a man whose final words were Lord, do not hold this sin against them. After Christ, he realized the futility of resisting sin’s temptations and finding himself trapped time after time. His only response would be never-ending gratitude to God for the gift of Jesus Christ. He later defined his life as being crucified with Christ. The depth and reach of Christ’s love transcends any possible scenario that threatens to separate us from the love of God.

Jesus is never going to let go of your life. When you give your life to Jesus, trusting, believing, and receiving Him, He’s going to make His home in you, abiding and dwelling. He going to change the way you love. It’s no longer a love based on your feelings or desire, but based on His love for you when you cared nothing about Him. He’s not going to quit, give up, or let you go. The Holy Spirit will remind you over and over of this absolute truth in your life. He’s not walking out. His love is never-ending and never-failing. God means it when He says nothing mean nothing can separate you from His love in Christ. How are you walking into this day? It only takes a moment…

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
