(Rom 9:1) “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,  ….(Rom 9:3)  For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:”   When it comes to lost souls, what does your conscience say? When you are with the lost, do you ask the Lord to give you opportunities to witness?

(Rom 9:1) “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, ….(Rom 9:3)  For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:”   Lies, deception, is of the devil. Jesus said he is a lair and the father of it (in other words, he was the first to lie). Every time you or I lie, we are as far away from reflecting our Savior as they come.

 Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that [nothing]…(39) …shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Take special note that the love of God is “in Christ Jesus our Lord”. Until you are put “into” the Son and His finished work of redemption; in other words, until you have been born again, made spiritually alive as one old enough to repent and ask for mercy; the love of God will not be upon your life. It is “in” Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death,… (39)…nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”   Since our Lord exist alone as God Almighty, every creature under His domain is a created being. Angels fell, but He did not redeem them by the sacrifice of Himself. Only the saved of mankind, of which I am one. So, no creature has the power to separate me from His love.

(Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death,… (39)  Nor height, nor depth,….shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”   There are times our hearts say, “The Lord seems so far away.” That is a feeling, not reality. He is everywhere as God; but particularly He is inside every child of God. He has promised, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee” (Heb 13:5).

(Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death,… nor things to come, …. (39)  …..shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”   As we approach the tribulation period, this world will be full of evil and destruction like we cannot imagine. But know this: anyone who is truly saved cannot be robbed of that salvation, for it is God Who promised and it is God Who sustains.

 (Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death,… nor things present…. (39)  …..shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  If you read this verse in its totality, it is saying that nothing, nothing, no nothing among things that are in this life can separate the born again child of God from their Father!

(Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death,… nor powers…. (39)  …..shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  The word “powers” speaks of miraculous powers – other than God’s. I remind you that Jesus said,  (Joh_10:29)  “My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.”

(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! 

(Rom 8:38) “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels… (39)  …..shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  There are fallen angels led by Lucifer who would take the gift of salvation away from you, if it were possible. It is not. Their desire would be to stop God from loving you – but they cannot: (Eph_1:6) “To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”
