Love of Christ

31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God,  who also maketh intercession for us. 
35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 
37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, not things to come, 
39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Romans 8:31-39

It is amazing to think upon the unending, boundless love of God. There is NOTHING that can separate us from His love! To know that I am always loved by the King of Glory even when things are hard or when I make mistakes is a such a wonderful thought! :)

  1. Amanda, that sure is a wonderful truth. We cannot imagine or describe the love of God. All we know is "He loved us", He gave His Son for us. Now we can sing "Behold what love, what boundless love."

    BTW, that's one of my favorite chapters.
