One of the most powerful passages in the New Testament
is found in Romans chapter 8:31-39. In this portion of Scripture the apostle
Paul asks the question, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” In the
Amplified version of the Bible the translators add, “Who can be our foe, if God
is on our side?” As this passage continues we see how God, in choosing not to
spare His own Son but delivering Him up for us all really proved His love for
us. Paul is asking “How can you doubt God’s commitment to you when He gave
everything He had to make you free?”
The end of this passage drives the point home when
Paul pens God’s thoughts to us in this way in Romans 8:38-39 “For I am
persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor
powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any
other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Nothing in all of creation can separate you from His
love. Let’s let His love be our motivation for everything as we live our lives
on this earth. With all that may be against you in life, be assured of this
thing, there is nothing greater or more powerful than our God. He is
for you.
