“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 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 creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:37-39
What a fervent statement of faith this verse is from Romans! Paul believed without a doubt that he was covered by God’s protection and that nothing could ever change that.
The old hymn, “Now I Belong to Jesus” by Norman J. Clayton says the same thing in a different way — “Jesus my Lord will love me forever. From Him no power of evil can sever.”
We are faced with evil of all kinds everyday. Broken relationships, hurtful words and actions, murder, hatred and abuse are just some of the things we encounter in this life. The world may cause us a lot of pain, but it can never take God’s love from us. This almighty love is strong! It protects us, overshadows us, guides us and helps us.
Because “the Lord is faithful …”, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, we can believe what He says. We too can be “more than conquerors through him who loved us!”
Praise be to God!
