Scripture of the day
Romans 8:39 - No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
As Christians, it is common to feel unworthy of God's love. Especially at times when we mess up and sin. But we can be assured that God still loves us, even in our darkest times.
But when we start to feel insecure in our faith, we need to look for God's promises. Once we have experienced God's love for the first time, we begin to understand just how much He loves us.
Romans 8:39 is one of key verses in the whole Bible that expresses the extent of God's love for us. The love that is manifested in and through Jesus Christ is so strong, that not one thing can seperate it from us.
Everything in the Heavens and Earth that was created by God, cannot seperate His love through Jesus Christ. That profound truth from God should be a reassureance of how much He loves us.
RANT:
However, God is also a JUST God. In His love, he will also not let the wicked go unpunished.
I've heard many times from many people how God loves us so much that He would never send anyone to Hell. In fact, there are many who simply do not believe in Hell. That is simply not true as there are many references to Hell or Lake of Fire in the Bible.
Anyone seeking truth cannot pick and choose parts of the Bible as their truth. To know truth, is to trust through faith that the ENTIRE Bible is true, no matter how difficult it is to grasp.
Those who do not do this will experience a warped perception of the truth. Many cults and fallen churches are based on twisting scriptures to suit their own selfish desires.
Alright, I'm finished ranting but felt this needed to be said. Today's scripture is indeed uplifting and a promise to hold on to.
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your eternal love for us that nothing can seperate. Even when I stumble, your love never ceases. Please give me the strength to share your love with others with the mercy and grace that you've shown me.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
