Romans 8:35-39 “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 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 creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
Hebrews 4:15-16 “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
God loves us! He loves you, and He loves me!
He loves the saved and the unsaved, the saint and the sinner, the faithful and the faithless. He loves a world that is sin-stained and Savior-separated. He loves the unlovely, the unloved, and the unloving. He loves those who love Him back, and He loves those whose life is the antithesis of love.
His love transcends time and place, situation and personality. We cannot be separated from it. It is given freely, though its value is unmatched. It drove Him to the cross for all of humanity and for each and every person. It contains the power of eternal salvation and it consolidates boldness in every situation.
For His people, this amazing, miraculous, supernatural truth should carry significant meaning and provide substantial motivation. It should be celebrated daily, uplifted regularly, and proclaimed at every opportunity. In response to a society that is quickly diverging from Him, we must be encouraged, empowered, equipped and emboldened to reach out. Like Him, we are to do so in love, in grace, and in truth. We should never give up, never give in, never quit, and never relent. We are His representatives to a world that needs Him desperately, whether it knows it or not, and a society that is eroding due to a foundation that is unsteady and unsure without Him at its core. It needs His love, and we are His instrumentality to show them a stark alternative to a world that hates, spites, and degrades.
PLEASE PRAY FOR AMERICAN CHRISTIANS TO UPLIFT, CELEBRATE, DEMONSTRATE AND PROCLAIM THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? No one can! What can separate us from the love of Christ? Nothing can!
