Rom. 8:38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us
from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons
can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of
hell can’t keep God’s love away. NLT
First of all, are you
convinced that nothing can separate you from the love of Christ for you? Do you know for a fact that Jesus can never
stop loving you? It is impossible for
God to stop loving you. He loves you no
matter what. No matter how you treat Him
or how little attention you may give to Him, He loves you. You can do nothing to keep God from loving
you. Nothing.
Now, just because God
loves you, it doesn’t mean that He will condone your lifestyle or how you
respond to Him. God’s love does not
negate His holiness. God loves you, but
He will never overlook sin. He always
will hold you responsible for sin in your life.
You will have to answer to Him for your sin.
There are a lot of
people today who deny the reality of God’s judgment on sin since God is
love. They deny the reality of hell
since a loving God would never send a soul to a godless place of eternal
torment. What they fail to accept is
that God’s love is balanced by His holiness.
He does not send anyone to hell who has not chosen to go there. God extends His love to all and invites them
to accept Him as their Savior and Lord, but most will not accept His offer of
love. He loves them and longs for their
fellowship, but will not force himself on anyone. All who will be in hell will be there because
they chose to reject God’s offer of himself to them.
There is a huge
difference between knowing about God’s love for us and knowing the love of God
for us. Are you living in the overflow
of God’s love? Do you know the wondrous
truth that nothing in all of creation can stop the Lord from loving you?
Dear friend, I want
you to know that God loves you. His love
for you never stops or changes. He longs
for you to live in the bountiful richness and fullness of His love.
