“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” Ro 8:35 NIV
Pray for a revelation of God’s love (3)
Paul asked: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” And the answer is–nothing! Then he came up with a laundry list of worst-case scenarios, from trouble to danger and anything in between: “Trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword” (NIV). When Paul wrote “hardship,” he was back in the Mediterranean Sea during a terrible typhoon. “Persecution” pinged his memory of being stoned at Lystra and left for dead. “Trials”: Paul stood trial before Nero himself. He also went without food, was bitten by a poisonous snake, and had the clothes stripped off his back so he could be flogged. This did not happen only once or twice. Five times he received the maximum sentence—forty lashes minus one. Paul’s back was whiplashed and crisscrossed with 195 scars. Hardship has one of two effects: it either hardens or softens our hearts. And it’s that hardening or softening that makes us or breaks us. According to one poll of Londoners, 60 percent of those who survived Germany’s blitzkrieg during World War II remembered it as the happiest time of their lives. It’s the tough times that test our love. But that’s also how it’s proved. The love of Christ wasn’t proved by His miracles—it was proved on a Roman cross. And it has proven to be fail proof. So no matter what trouble, hardship, or persecution you face, this too shall pass. More importantly, Jesus is with you and Jesus is for you. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate you from His love!
