Promises



This afternoon I headed out to Yellow Branch Falls for some quiet time. God taught me a few meaningful things during those few hours, and showed me this passage which is so encouraging to me. Romans 8 is one of those parts of the Bible that we hear quoted a lot, but often don't realize how INCREDIBLE its truths really are if we apply them to our own daily lives. Here is it says that we are more than conquerors and that NOTHING, no matter how big or small, can separate us from his love. Praise Him! Don't skim it, read it and meditate on it, this is good stuff.


"What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:31-39
