Nothing

Romans 8:38-39, “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS our Lord.”

As a child I was taught a simplified version of this passage. That version says, “Nothing can separate us from the love of God.”

NOTHING… did you hear that?

Do you want to understand grace?

Then meditate on NOTHING.

There is NOTHING that can keep us from the love of God… providing we also know where that love is found… in Christ Jesus.

NOTHING… what a grand and glorious summation of the barriers to grace for those who are Christians.

Are you a Christian? Are you in Christ? Then NOTHING stands between you and God’s love. Name the most deadly of sins, and it does not separate you from the love of God. Name your most evil act, and it does not separate you from the love of God. Name you inadequacies… they do not separate you from the love of God.

NOTHING… what a glorious word.
