So just how strong is the love of God? How powerful is it? Is there anything,
anything that can separate those of us who are His live from His love?
Paul wants to make sure that we get it. He wants us to that there is no
way no how that anything can separate us. He gives us quite a list. Neither tribulation nor distress nor persecution nor famine nor
nakedness nor peril nor death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers
nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth can separate us from
the love of God which is manifested in Christ.
In case that's not clear enough Paul adds 'nor any other
created thing' can separate us.
Praise God for His great love that overcomes any and every
thing. I know that if it were up to me and my faithfulness and my dedication
and my loyalty to knee myself in the love of God I would fail, but it is His
great love that secures it.
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
I am so grateful that my relationship to the love of God is
based on His great love in Christ and not my weak insipid copy.
