SJA Notes

* God Almighty, You are holy and righteous – Please teach us today.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”

If we believe that God loves us, that Christ’s love was so great as to offer Himself up – Now that we God’s people are able to live through Him, abiding in His love,

What could break that bond, what could dissolve that love, what could cause the love to fail or go away or disappear.

Paul’s answer is emphatic.

Nothing.

There isn’t a thing in all of creation that can take away God’s love from us.

“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rules, 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.”

Nothing.

Hallelujah!

* Holy God,

Your word is true and truth.

Please write it on our hearts today.

Mark us as a faithful people, who trust in Your love for us – Who are steadfast in Your love, that nothing can separate us from You.

Thank You Lord!

Amen.
