That Which Cannot Separate You

Wednesday, May 3, 2023

Romans 8 says, "What shall separate us from the love of God? Shall famine, sword, tribulation..." Some believe that this means that God is going to keep His people from such things - trouble, tribulation, famine. But those who believe that, when they go through trouble and tribulation, their faith will fail them. The Scripture does not say God's love will keep you from these things. In fact it says, "You will have troubles and tribulation." But here's the key - none of these things will be able to separate you from the love of God - they can't. The victory of our faith isn't to escape this world - it's to overcome this world. Stop living in fear of problems; that's not your faith. Rather pray, "Lord don't let me run away, let me overcome and have faith that Your love is greater than all these things and the world itself." You haven't come into the world so that you could avoid the world; you came into the world so that you could overcome the world.
