By No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure 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 8:37–39 ESV)
This passage of Scripture is one of the most encouraging in all of the Bible. True, blood purchased love conquers anything! We are told that because of God’s inseparable love for us, we can do nothing other than ultimately conquer anything! No angel, demon, or human ruler will defeat us. Nothing that haunts us from our past, nor anything coming in the future will destroy us. No power, nor elevation, nor depth, nor anything else in all of creation can cause us defeat. Because of God’s love for us in Jesus, we WILL CONQUER! LOVE CONQUERS!
The main truth of this passage enables us to reason back to human love through Jesus. The love Karie and I have for our children is true, blood purchased love. This love cannot be severed and removed out of our hearts for any reason. Nothing can seperate our children from us because the love we have for them is blood purchased and true. No rebellion, no devil, nor demon can cause ultimate seperation. No human ruler, no haunting past, nor any future event can sever and destroy love. No power, no distance, no sickness or health, not even life itself can cut asunder the love we have for them. And because nothing in all of creation can separate our love from our children; they WILL CONQUER! They may stumble and fall down. They may run and hide. They may bar their teeth and bite. They may lay comatose on a gurney gasping their last breath. But they will conquer.
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6)
AMEN! Come Lord Jesus! COME!
