(Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death,… nor principalities . (39) …..shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Principalities: authority . No king or priest has the authority to take away what God has given freely. The salvation bestowed was given by God alone. He has promised the saved eternal life and no one can keep us from it! Glory to God!
