Nothing Can Separate us from God's Love

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nothing Can Stop God’s Love

Nothing Can Block God’s Love for those in Christ!

Romans 8:38–39 NKJV

38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

All thing work together for good.

Romans 8:28 NKJV

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Death can not stop God’s Love

Philippians 1:20 NKJV

20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

The Devil can not get in the way of God’s Love for Us.

2 Corinthians 12:7–10 NKJV

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Look at the Book Labs Outline

1. In Christ Jesus, God will never stop loving us. (Romans 8:35–37)

2. But can something block the love of God to us? Paul gives ten more possible examples. (Romans 8:38–39)

3. We know that all things work for our good (Romans 8:28). They don’t just get out of the way. They work for us.

4. Nothing can block the love of God to us in Christ (Romans 8:38–39).

5. For instance, death cannot stop God’s love for us. In Christ, God makes death gain for us. (Philippians 1:20)

6. Not even the devil can get in the way of God’s love for us. Every time he opposes us, God is using it to serve us (2 Corinthians 12:7–10). The devil is a disarmed idiot.

Do Not Stop Loving One Another (06:41–08:47)

1. As debtors to the Spirit, we do not pay back the Spirit (Romans 8:12–13). No, we live by the Spirit by trusting in the Spirit, embracing all these great truths to strengthen and guide.

2. In doing so, we fulfill the just requirement of the law, which is love. (Romans 8:4; 13:8)

3. All that God did on the cross and all he is doing in working all things for our good is meant to enable us to love each other and our enemies.

4. This love takes whatever risks and makes whatever sacrifices necessary, because the sufferings of this time are not worth comparing with the glory to come.

5. Therefore, let us spend these few years loving people to the glory of our great God, in whom we have absolute security.
