“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
“Death …demons … powers” represent unseen cosmic forces. Though created by God, they now stand in opposition to God’s eternal purpose because of the fall. They threaten to separate us from Christ’s love, but Christ has triumphed over them.
Christ’s death, resurrection, and exaltation at God’s right hand guarantees our victory over anything and everything that would separate us from His love. When following Christ brings distress, we sometimes distance ourselves from Him. But Christ never draws back from us. If God, the uncreated One, is for us, and no created thing can separate us, then our security in Him is absolute.
God’s blessings on your day…
