Romans 8: How God Loves Usনমুনা

Nothing Can Separate Us

Reflect / Discuss

• Do you ever feel like things in your past keep you from experiencing God’s love?
• How would you describe the love of God?

Consider

Perhaps the most important part of Romans 9 are the final verses that teach us a powerful truth. When our life circumstances are not ideal, we may be tempted to think that God loves us less. This lie can cripple us into living discouraged and hopeless lives or to strive to earn something that we are not capable of earning. God’s love is not like human love. 

Our view of God’s love is often tainted by relationships we have here on earth—with our spouses, children, family, or friends. These relationships always involve some level of disappointment. The love we feel and choose in these relationships is always based on something—a relation, a shared experience, or an attraction. The love of God has no beginning or end. It is not based on a circumstance or experience because it is a part of the character of God. Love is who God is. He simply cannot and will not stop loving us. Nothing can separate us from his unfailing love. 

Act

• Thank God for His unending love for you. Write out a prayer of thanksgiving for His love. 
• Find a way to reflect God’s unfailing love to the people around you.
