God's Inseparable Love (Romans 8:35-39)
This week at Grace, we will conclude Romans 8 with some of the most comforting verses in the whole Bible. Paul assures everyone who is in Christ that nothing "will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
I've included three songs below that we sing here at Grace to prepare our hearts for this beautiful passage. Each song has a link if you'd like to listen, and I've included some relevant lyrics to meditate on.
Praying for you,

In Christ Alone | Verse 4
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
He Will Hold Me Fast | Verse 3
For my life He bled and died
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied
He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life
He will hold me fast
'Til our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last!
All Sufficient Merit | Verse 4
All sufficient merit, firm in life and death
The joy of my salvation shall be my final breath
When I stand accepted before the throne of God
I'll gaze upon my Jesus, and thank Him for the cross
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,
βFor your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.β
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 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.
