"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 8:35-39 (NIV)
In this chapter of Romans the Apostle Paul identifies what The Holy Spirit does for us. He frees us from sin and death, enables us to follow God's law, grants us victory over our unredeemed flesh, confirms our adoption as children of God, and guarantees us our ultimate glory with God. He writes from his personal experiences stating that nothing can separate us from the love of God.
We can all look back over our lives and see what God has brought us through and kept us from. The love of God is like a protective shield around us. We may be attacked by demons, but we will not be defeated. Trouble, hardship, and persecution may come our way, but we will get through them by the grace of God. We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. God loves us and nothing can separate us from the love of God.
