NOTHING IN ALL CREATION

Rom. 8:39 Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.  NLT

      Hear what Paul is saying here.  NOTHING IN ALL CREATION will ever be able to separate us from the love of God.  NOTHING.  It is impossible for us to ever go anywhere or do anything that will keep us away from God's love.  God loves us.  Period.  It's hard to wrap ourselves around this wonderful truth.  God loves everyone equally the same.  He is not capable of not loving us.  He will always love us.

      Now, we can spurn His love and not know His love.  It doesn't mean we aren't loved; it means that we have chosen not to be loved by Him.  What a tragic way to live.  So many go through life not knowing the love of God because of their decision to live in sin.  It's always there, but unless one repents and chooses to live life in Christ, they do not know what the love of God is all about. 

       How do we know that God loves everyone?  He showed it to us at Calvary.  Jesus did not die for just a select few.  He died so that whosoever would want to be saved can be saved.  He died for the whole world with no strings attached.  It is possible for every human being ever born to be saved.  There is no greater proof of one's love than to die in the place of another.  Jesus did that for us.  Not only did He die for us, He went face-to-face with Satan and defeated him and his death grip over us.  We no longer have to die in our sins; we can now die in Christ's righteousness and go to heaven when we die.

      The greatest news man has ever heard is that God loves him just the way he is.  God opens up His heart to anyone who desires a relationship with Him.  He turns no one away.  Yet, He loves us so much that He does not make us love Him.  We can spurn His love and make our eternal bed in hell.  The choice is ours to make.  Do you know what it is to be loved by God and to love Him?
