For I am persuaded that
neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things
present nor things to come, 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. Romans 8:38-39
The word persude according
to dictionary.com means: “to induce to believe by appealing to reason or
understanding; convince.”
God has declared and demonstrated in His Word that He loves us. If
we simplify the discussion in the passage above (Romans 8:38-39) to all that is
created, and the One Who created it….It’s easy to see the point. Nothing in all
of creation can separate you from the love of The
One Who created you. So God has declared
He loves us and that nothing can separate us
from that love.
But what about His demonstration of this love? The place where God demonstrated His love for us is the Cross!
Jesus said in Mark 10:45 that He came to this earth to serve and not to be
served and to give His live as a ransom. John tells us “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.” So God demonstrated
His love for us by sending His son to die on the Cross for our sins…
But maybe you are not persuaded. Maybe you are listening to how you feel instead
of what God has declared and demonstrated. The only thing that can separate you and
I from God’s love is unbelief!
So believe what God has declared and demonstrated to
you….He loves you!
