For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
We are living in a world that is uncertain and unsure. Many people are attempting to find security for whatever comes next. These things, however, are not guaranteed from one day to the next. Watching the news provides enough proof that any of them can be taken away in a moment. No wonder there is such despair and fear.
For believers, thankfully, reality is not based on what we see. Nor is our foundation found in this world. We build our hope and trust on the Lord, and we believe the truth in His Word. Even in chaotic times, our certainty is found in God’s loving relationship with us as His children. Romans 8:38-39 tells us that nothing can tear us away from our Lord Jesus Christ. Even when you look at the list Paul gave, nothing, no not one thing, “will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Therefore, in the midst of turmoil and trials, we have assurance that our lives are in the grip of the almighty God. We can rely not only on His love and presence but also on His uninterrupted attention, faithfulness, and perfect care.
And for that, all of God’s people say… “Amen!”
