Romans 8:35-39
“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.”
How often we forget these glorious words. No one, no thing, no serious of events, even torture nor death can separate us from the love of Christ. No, not even our own thoughts and actions can separate us from the love of Christ.
If we are His and have been saved by Christ Jesus, we can not be separated from the love of our Heavenly Father. Yet, how often we forget that He chastises His own. How often we forget that the trials and tribulations in this life may be because we have sinned against our Heavenly Father. Does He not tell us in His Word and give multiple examples of His chastisement on His people down through the ages in His Word?
Why are we so prideful today to think we are going through trials and tribulations and persecutions because we are the children of God? Are we so prideful we cannot see the reason is rather because we refuse to follow His commandments and/or because we have sinned against our Lord?
Are we bragging about our torments or are we examining ourselves and seeking His face in our time of chastisement?
We should be praising God He loves us enough not to separate us from His love.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
