SAVED BY THE LOVE OF GOD

Proclamation:
"”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 8:38-39 (NIV)

Explanation:
In his letter to the Christians in Rome, the Apostle Paul wrote that he was convinced that nothing, absolutely nothing in this world, can separate us from the love of God, which is the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, The Christ.  

Application:
Paul said that Christ proved His love for us when He died for us on that cross and when He rose from the dead for us.  Now He sits at the right hand of God and pleads our case as He makes intercession for us. (Romans 8:34)  With the omnipotent, omniscience, and omnipresent God standing up for us, who can stand against us? (Romans 8:31)  We are winners, we have the victory no matter what we face or go through in this life because we have the love of God. (Romans 8:37)  Once we accept Christ as our personal Savior, nothing can come between us and the love of God.  He becomes part of us and we become part of Him. (Romans 8:11)  In Him we live, move, and have our very being.  It is the love of God that wakes us up each morning, and keeps us safe from all hurt, harm, and danger during the day, and watches over us as we slumber and sleep each night.  We are saved from our sins, from ourselves, and from the world by the love of God.
