Romans 8:37

Romans is one of my favorite books of the bible. And Paul is certainly one of my favorite authors. He is such an encourager. Today's scripture discussion comes from my daily Oswald Chambers Devotional. The Key scripture is Romans 8:37:

...In all these things we are more than conquerers through Him who loved us.

What are these 'things' Paul is speaking of...? Well you have to go back to verse 35 and Paul lists examples of difficulty and explains that nothing shall seperate us from Christ's Love. His list includes tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, and sword. Later in verses 38 and 39 he reiterates that neither life nor death, nor angels, nor principalities and powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any created thing, shall be able to seperate us from the love of God.

Wow, that is an amazing Love...! What a powerful Love. And if we have Christ in us, if we have accepted Christ as our personal Lord and Savior then nothing can ever truly seperate us from HIM. We are not just Conquerers. We are MORE than Conquerers in our Christ Jesus...!

The experiences of life, whether they be every day events or terrifying ones, are powerless to seperate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Now that's Encouragement!

Dear God,

Thank You Lord for Your amazing Love. And Thnak You Lord for your WORD which directs our every step. Father God I Love You and Thank you and Praise You for Your Goodness and the Blessings You have given me and my family. I live to serve You Lord, and in Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
