'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?'
(Romans 8:35).
Christ our Lord was before the world begun. He was in the beginning with God! God created all things through him and nothing was created except through him (John 1:3). God's love for his people is exceedingly great, that when sin raised up its ugly head, God already had a plan in place to counteract it. That is, He gave up his only Son to die for us, sinners. He wanted to restore us back to himself and the only person that could atone for our sin and set us free from its bondage was His Son. So, Christ came and die for all humanity, however, it is only those who accepted Christ and believed by faith that he is the Son of God, who came and die for our sin will be saved. All those who do not accept by faith the unmerited favour of God through the sacrifice of His Son, will have no part with God. It is God himself who went through the pangs of death to save you and me. The question is asked, "who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" All those who have the Spirit of Christ living in them are controlled by the Spirit and belong to Christ. We must recognise that nothing we do can keep Christ from loving us. Neither be it trials, tribulation, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, peril nor the sword, can separate us from the love of Christ. Instead, it is His love that is able to bring us through all these things that may affect us in our lifetime. When God is for us who dare to be against us? He who gave up his Son for sinners who didn't deserve it will indeed give us everything else. What a great God! Despite all the things that we have done in our lives, God's love for us will never end - it is everlasting; nor can anything separates us from Christ's love. As believers, we are longing to go home with Christ, and is waiting with expectancy for the hope of eternity with our Father. God is never going to let go of us, and has proven his love by the sacrifice of his own Son, and we through Christ can be adopted as his Children, wherein we call Him Abba, Father. Let us seek to live for Christ daily and rest in him, knowing nothing shall separate us from his love.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
