“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”Those who are in Christ – those who are called the sons of God. To be in Christ is to accept salvation from God in His right time by faith. From darkness into light, from death into everlasting life.
For that work begins in eternity when God purposed to save a people, and purposed to save them in His Son. That’s where salvation lies – in the eternal purpose of God, in the eternal covenant of God between Father and Son, by which God chose a people in Christ “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:4), a people whom He predestinated “unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved” (Ephesians 1:5-6). It is this people whom Christ, in time, redeemed through His blood, to bring forgiveness of sins, to whom God then makes known “the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself”.
Nothing can separate sons of God from God Himself as they have the faith to conquers situations. It is by such faith that and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose.
Lord, I want to have this kind of love relationship with You that nothing can separate it. I pray that I will have to strength, will, wisdom and courage to conquer troubled situations.
