Romans 8:39 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.
Yesterday this verse was referenced when we were looking at the fact that we belong to Him and nothing can separate us. He loves us and redeemed us, called us by name. And nothing,can separate us from that love, absolutely nothing.
Today’s verse is only half of the list. It begins with “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers…” (Romans 8:38) before verse 39 picks up the remainder of the list. The very last item on the list is “nor anything else in all creation.” Nothing in ALL creation leaves room for no doubt in your life. NOTHING can separate us from the love of God.
These verses should give you great peace knowing that you are loved and always will be. The items on the list are all things people tend to fear, things that cause anxiety. They are things that we would assume could drive a wedge between us and God, but not a single one does or can. We belong to Him and His love will never allow that to happen.
One of the debated beliefs is over the loss of salvation. The debate is over what has been referred to as “once saved, always saved.” This verse is usually used by the always saved crowd because it reassures us that NOTHING separates us from His love. He will always love you and nothing will ever change that. Nothing in our world can separate us from that love. Even if death comes to claim you, God still loves you and you are still His child. (While I am not inviting open debate, you can always message or email me to discuss whether salvation can be lost or not. I am of the belief it cannot, as outlined in all of Romans 8, which is a great read.)
As believers we shouldn’t fear the things in Paul’s list nor anything else in all creation. We can rest in the promise that we are safe in His love. Embrace that freedom today. Thank God for always and eternally loving and holding you. Anxiety has no place in your story.
