Today we are reading Romans 8. In this chapter we read about how nothing can separate us from God’s love. “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:31-39 ESV What concerns you most? In our lives there are many things that happen that cause us to be anxious. God’s word tells us that nothing can separate us from His love. How is that connected to the things we are anxious about? Our biggest need is to be reconciled to God. Done! In Jesus’ name we have been made right with God. What about the other stuff? Well, if God takes care of our biggest need, He will certainly take care of the rest! You are precious to Him! Trust Him to take care of you forever! Pastor Tim
