THE SEED
“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.” Romans 8:39
The source of Christian comfort is not that we are for God or that we are on His side. Rather it is that God is for us and is on our side. To know that God is for us is to know that no one and nothing can ever prevail against us. Of course, this does not mean that the Christian will have no enemies. On the contrary, we will be surrounded by enemies. Multitudes will set themselves against us. But these enemies have no chance to destroy us when God has bound Himself to us. There is
someone who wants all the troubles in life to separate us from Christ’s love. That individual is the devil. Satan wants to separate us from our Saviour and His love. And he uses the troubles of our lives to try to accomplish this. He knows he cannot actually separate us from Christ and His love, but he delights in accomplishing that at least in our minds so we think we have been taken away from the love of Christ. There are troubles of life that make life seem not worth living. Family strife, crime, corruption, losing possessions, wicked deeds of men, every earthly distress. But life with all its ups and downs, life with its good times and bad, is powerless to cause separation between us and the love of Christ. Dearly beloved, as believers if we are separated from the love of Christ, we lose everything. We lose our salvation. We lose our forgiveness. We lose our hope of life in heaven. We lose our confidence that all things work for our good. If we lose the love of Christ, we have nothing left.
PRAYER
O Lord hold me with your right hand of righteousness, to prevent been separated from You. In Jesus name, Amen.
