Romans 8:28, 30, 31b-34, 37-39 (NIV)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
If God is for us, who can be against us?
how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who 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.
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.
Just think about that for a moment! Nothing!! Not Satan, nothing! Not even ourselves! Can separate us from God's love. We can turn our backs on it, pretend it doesn't exist, deny it loudly. It doesn't matter because God will ALWAYS love us and has already forgiven us through His son, our Savior, Jesus Christ! I don't understand how anyone can turn away from such a great love... Thank you Jesus.
AMEN
