0089. A Life Secured by an Unfaltering Love

A Life Secured by an Unfaltering Love

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

"Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom_8:38-39).

The believer is kept secure in the unchangeable love of an unchangeable God. There is nothing that can separate us from the love of Christ: for "having loved His own, * * He loved them unto the end".

There is nothing, neither Satan, nor sin, nor the world, nor the flesh, there is nothing–neither tribulation, nor distress, nor persecution, nor famine, nor peril, nor the sword, that can separate us from the love of God.

There is no created thing, there is no height, there is no depth, there is nothing present and there is nothing to come, that can separate us from the love of God.

"Loved with everlasting love,

Led by grace that love to know;

Spirit, breathing from above,

Thou hast taught me it is so!

Oh this full and perfect peace!

Oh this transport all Divine!

In a love which cannot cease,

I am His, and He is mine.

"Things that once were wild alarms

Cannot now disturb my rest;

Closed in everlasting arms,

Pillowed on the loving breast.

Oh to lie for ever here,

Doubt and care and self resign,

While He whispers in my ear–

I am His, and He is mine."
