The Certainty of God’s Love

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-39

At this age and stage in life, there are some things that I am pretty sure about. I have some absolutes; things I don’t have to doubt and guess about. One of those things is the love of God. God’s love for me is more certain than my next breath. He sent His Only Son to the Cross of Calvary for my sin and the sins of the entire world. I sometimes sit in awe of this Great Love. King David, the Psalmist said in Psalm 8:4 said “what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?”

We are indeed a blessed generation. God’s love for us is greater than any issues, problems, distress, circumstances or obstacles we can ever face. God promises us that nothing will ever be successful at separating us from His love. This gives me hope, confidence and assurance of a secure future. As long as God's love is for me, I fear nothing or anyone that may be against me. God's love brings us the security we all long for in our individual lives. It helps us to hold on regardless what might be going on around us. The Bible tells us in Luke 21:33 that even though heaven and earth may pass away, the word and promises of God will stay the same forever and ever. There's nothing more certain than that.
