'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress, or persecutions, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?'
(Romans 8:35).
It is a wonderful thing to know, that if we trust God and believe in His Son Jesus, nothing shall separate us from His love. Paul is urging us to understand that though sufferings continue, God is still with us and will see us through. There is nothing we do that keep Christ from loving us. He does love us with an everlasting love, regardless of trials or tribulation. He is there through those trials, afflictions; our needs whether it be physical, spiritual and emotional; persecution for our faith in Christ. None of these things, can separate us from Christ's love. All believers who aspired to be in Christ, and have been saved by their faith are encouraged of God's great love for us, and feel secured before him. We have the confidence that God is for us, he loves us, even as we abide in Christ. Paul asked the question, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" Nothing or no one can separate us from the love of Christ." God will not leave us because he loves us and send His Son Jesus to die for us. Christ not only died, but rose again and is at the right hand of His Father, interceding for us. We ought to give God thanks
and praise that Christ is alive and loving us. There is nothing that can truly separate us from Christ, but protect us from any separation. Let us ponder and reflect on these words from Paul, "shall tribulation or distress, or persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword?" No, not one of these can separate us from the love of Christ. Let us allow God to use us for his purpose and will.
Have a wonderful day

The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
