The Love Of God
In Christ Jesus Our Lord
We know that all things work together
for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For
those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his
Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. And those
whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he
called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
What then are we to say about these
things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own
Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us
everything else? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who
justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was
raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will
separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to
be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor
powers, 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.
Romans 8:28-39
It is amazing how God can take men who
are mortal enemies, bring them together, and lead them to Himself.
But it shows us that He is in control. And nothing can stop working His wonders
in our lives.
Every child of God fills a special place
in His plan.
