Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “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 thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” (Romans 8:35-36)
The Apostle Paul asked one of the most interesting and revealing questions for the Follower of Christ! “Who or what can separate you, as a Child of God, from His Love and Grace?” There are seven named challenges that could happen to us, and they might be viewed as indications that God is displeased with us, however, these challenges are a part of our human existence, and everyone will experience these issues. Going through the struggles and challenges of this life, we often wonder what is going on! Have I done something that God is not pleased with? Is this a punishment for my activities? Does God still love me? Paul’s answer to every question about the challenges that we will face, is “NO!” God loves us and tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, nor sword, can change God’s Love for us and His commitment to keep us secure in that Love! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD!! Painful circumstances, health issues, death of loved ones, financial reverses, are going to occur! That is the way of life, however, as Born-Again Believers, we are promised that these circumstances, nor anything else, can or will separate us from GOD! I am excited to KNOW that there is absolutely nothing that can alter God’s Love for me and His commitment to me and His Power and Provision for my living! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
