Romans 8:31-39 (New International Version)
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He 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? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who 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. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither 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.
TODAY'S PROMISE
You are more than a conqueror through My love in Jesus Christ.
WORDS TO LIVE BY
So what should I say about all of this? If God is on my side, where is there a worthy enemy?? God did not even spare His own Son, but gave Him as a sacrifice for my salvation. Will He not give me everything else freely and graciously as well? And who is it that can bring a single charge against me when God has already justified me and declared me to be righteous? Who is it that has any power to condemn me? Only Jesus has that power. And will He condemn me after suffering and dying for me and being raised to life for me? Will He, the One who loves me so much that He lives to make intercession for me, condemn me now? Who can possibly separate me from such love? Can troubles, hardships, depression, stress, peril or danger separate me from the love of Jesus? I think not!! It doesn't matter what my situation is. It doesn't matter if I am facing death or viewed as a sheep headed for the slaughter. No matter what is going on in my life, I will rise as more than a conqueror through Him who loves me! I know for sure that neither death, or life, or angels or demons or anything present or in the future, or any kind of power in all of creation can separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus my Lord!! Any questions???
