Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?  Romans 8:35

Is there anything or anyone in your life that separates you from Jesus? When you’re faced with difficult times do you reach out to God or curse him? It’s easy to be a Christian when everything is life is going well, but when the storms of life hit, that’s when the true test is found whether you pull closer to God or move farther away.

As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:36-37

Jesus never said it was going to be an easy life, in fact he said The world will hate you because of him. Satan knows we are peaceful at heart therefor make easy targets for his attacks, however because Jesus conquered death, nobody can defeat you. There is no force in the universe more powerful than God and he lives inside of you.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

Nothing can separate you from God, except yourself.  When Jesus said “It Is Finished” he defeated Satan, he defeated the world, and most importantly he defeated death. Because of his atonement you can’t be separated from God.

However you need to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. He gave his life for you so you can live forever, will you give your life to him? Just say this prayer out loud:

Heavenly Father, I confess my sins, I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, have mercy upon me. Pour your Holy Spirit upon me and make me new again in Jesus Name Amen
