God's Everlasting Love

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: 
“ For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31-39
Do you ever get up in the morning feeling out of sorts or a little glum? If so, I have a solution for you. Open your Bible and read. It won’t take you long to put on a new attitude.

The Bible, God’s holy word, is full of His promises and tells of His everlasting love. Why despair? YOU ARE LOVED!

Do you despair because you aren’t yet a child of God? Accept Christ today—don’t delay! Admit that you are a sinner; “for all have sinned…”—Romans 3:23. Believe that Jesus is God’s Son; “for God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son…”—John 3:16. Confess your faith in Jesus; “for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”—Romans 10:13.

As Christians we can rejoice with joy unspeakable—1 Peter 1:8; revel in the peace which passes all understanding—Philippians 4:7; enjoy hope in abundance—Romans 15:13; and so much more! Romans 8:31-39 tells us no one can be against us if God is for us; nothing can separate us from the love of Christ; and that we are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us.

So get up, put on the full armor of God—Ephesians 6:13-17; and prepare to face the day with the assurance that He will never leave us or forsake us, (Hebrews 13:5, Deuteronomy 31:6, 8; Joshua 1:5).

God Bless!
