Meditation 86
Persuaded
Beyond Doubt
Romans 8:38–39 (AMP) For I am
persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be
able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Approximately twenty-four years after
his conversion on the Damascus road Paul, while on his third missionary
journey, wrote to the church at Rome. Through the sufferings and afflictions,
through calamity and distress, through persecutions and hunger, and all the
perils he faced while preaching the Gospel, Paul has come to know Jesus Christ
and Father very deeply. His close relationship has convinced Paul that nothing
can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
You never know the situations or
circumstances you will face in life.
However, you can rest assured that nothing can separate you from God’s
love in Jesus Christ and every challenge will work for your good when you obey
the commandment to love. We must remember it is through prayer, bible study,
and the circumstances of life that we come to know Him.
Ending Thoughts
If you stay on the Narrow Path that
leads into relationship with God you like Paul will be persuaded beyond doubt
that nothing can separate you from His love because you will know Him
intimately.
