Romans Chapter 8 Vs. 39

 

God's Everlasting Love

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. Rom 8:39

any other creature... Any thing in creation (see, Rom. 8:19).

separate us from... One who lives and walks in the Spirit, will not be separated by any of the 17 things of Rom. 8:35-39 anymore than he will be moved to commit the 17 things of Gal. 5:19-21. The secret of victory and absolute assurance for the believer is to walk as taught in Rom. 6:14-23; 8:1-13; Gal. 5:16-26.

We can not be separated from God’s love, because it is set forth in a person who is God Himself, Jesus Christ our Savior. God’s desire to redeem believers cannot be frustrated, because He is infinitely greater than any potential enemy. His plan will be realized because it is His purpose.

I think the book of (Eph. 2:18-22), says it all.

“For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.” “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;” “And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];” “In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord:” “In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”

We are in Him and He is in us. How can you separate that?

The extremes in space: (8) height and (9) depth (nothing overhead or underneath can suddenly come swooping down or up to sever believers from God’s love); and (10) everything in the entire created realm. Absolutely nothing in His Creation can thwart His purpose for believers in Christ. What a climactic way to affirm the certainty of believers’ salvation!
