Romans 8:38 - 39 “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, (39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
The love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, is the love that will never leave us, we cannot even lose it at will. How anyone could read this passage of scripture and believe that we could ever be lost after God saves us is beyond me. It is not that God come to love us after we are saved, but that Jesus Christ is God showing us His love. God said His love is an “everlasting love” and it is because of that very love that He draws us to Christ. “The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” Jeremiah 31:3 God said it is because of this everlasting love that He elected to send His own Son Jesus Christ in the likeness of sinful flesh, to suffer greatly and die a horrible death at the hands of wicked and evil men. No one know if God will ever “draw them” to Jesus Christ for salvation but once He does, He show us His everlasting love in that drawing, as He saves our souls. Now, we must understand that God loves those He calls and draws because those are the people, He has such a great love for, and if God does not call a lost soul they will never come to Christ. Jesus said in John 6:44 “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” But once God calls you, then you will be shown the eternal love God has for you from eternity past. Once God calls, you will come to Jesus Christ and find your blessed Saviour and see in Him God’s love. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14
Now let us understand that God’s love is not temporary, oh no, it never ends and neither does the gift of salvation to all that God called and saves in His Son Jesus Christ. People who believe in a weak salvation and believe that somehow a child of God can be kicked out of God’s family does not understand God and His love. They do not understand the salvation that we are blessed with by the grace of God and the blessings that are in Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 6:39 “And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.” If Jesus said that He will not lose any souls the Father gave Him, then how can man say that He can? Why would anyone who has been saved by God’s grace and shown God’s eternal love in Jesus Christ ever want to believe that somehow, we could be separated God’s love from us? Therefore, Paul under the power of the Holy Spirit wrote these words, “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, (39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Anything one could imagine is included in this passage of scripture. God included “angels” both God’s angels and Satan’s angels, He also included all powers that be, and He included “nor things present, nor things to come”, and last, He included us, “nor any other creature”. I don’t know about some people, but it most certainly sounds like our salvation stands on very solid ground and safe in Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord!
