Romans: Theology for Everybody (6-11)ಮಾದರಿ

In life, it is not uncommon to hear about people who are in love that fall out of love. This happens all the time in relationships and is most painful in marriage. This raises the question about God’s love and the security of our relationship with Him. Is it possible that someone or something could change God’s heart toward us and remove God’s love from us? 

No! 

Our relationship with God is forever secure because His Covenant love for us is unbreakable, unshakable, and unchangeable. This promise of God’s love is well-spoken of in the Jesus Storybook Bible for kids, “God loves us with a Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love.” 

 Paul answers four common questions in this breathtaking section of Scripture to defend the complete security of our eternal relationship with God through Jesus Christ: 

1. If God is for us, who can be against us?

2. Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?

3. Who is to condemn?

4. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

           Throughout life, it seems like every season has its own struggle. The Devil haunts us with failures from our past, we blow it so bad we wonder if God might give up on us, the bottom falls out of life and everyone and everything we depended on falls through as we are left in shock and uncertain what to do or how to survive, and then demonic forces show up to rob us of the last bit of joy and life our soul is capable of mustering. Through it all, one thing is certain – our faith is in a God who is totally, utterly, completely, powerfully, wonderfully, shockingly and eternally faithful. No one, nothing, will change His plan to love and save. The love of God is immovable bedrock upon which our eternal life is built!

Reflection:

1. What does it mean that Jesus Christ is interceding for you right now before the Father as your advocate and intercessor (see also Psalm 110 and Hebrews 7:25, which speaks of Jesus as our Great High Priest)? 

2. Do you truly believe that there is no one and no thing that can separate you from God’s love, including yourself and something you have done in the past or might do in the future?
