Please read the News section up top to get information on how this Bible study works. So very glad you are here!
In our last Bible study, we determined that God loves us, a whole lot. He sent his son, Jesus, to die so that we may be redeemed. This is an incredibly valuable gift.
Now I'm going to take a metaphor from the world to illustrate my next point. Out of the blue, a million dollars drops into your lap. No, it isn't funny money, it's the real deal, one million dollars. After generalized rejoicing, the next thought that would pop into my mind is "How am I going to keep this safe?" Someone could mug me, I could lose 100,000 dollars worth of it, I could put it into the bank, but are the banks really safe. The financial markets have been a bit hinky lately...
Thankfully we do not have to worry about how to keep God's love safe.
Bible Message.
In Romans Chapter 8 Verses 35-39 Paul Writes
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry, or cold or in danger or threatened with death? 36(Even the Scriptures say "For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep" Psalms 44:22) 37 No despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loves us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't and life can't. The angel's 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. 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.
This scripture packs a powerful punch. ONCE WE HAVE ACCEPTED THIS FREE GIFT OF LOVE, nothing can take it away from us. No one, nobody, nothing. He is with us in all of our trials, troubles, and worries because he loves us. What a wonderful promise. He can also separate us from our sins "as far as the east is from the west" but that's another Bible study
Question What would overwhelming victory look like in your life?
