Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is
God that justifieth Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea
rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also
maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written,
For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more
than conquerors through him that loved us. 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: 33-39 (KJV).
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? When one is declared not guilty, by the highest
judge, that person is secure from every charge, and no one else can add
additional charge. Who is he who condemns? As a result, one is free and secure from all
other condemnation. The reason being Jesus Christ being our advocate is promoting
our benefits, because of what He did on the cross, purging our sins, and this
nullifies all other condemnation! More than conquerors through Him who loved
us, means no matter what our circumstances, or our sufferings of our
present time can separate us from the love of God, because of Christ.
What
does More than conquerors mean? In
weaknesses, God’s power, exceeds, and every
believer with a greater love provided from above,
can conquer the enemies with Christ’s love and converting persecutors with
patience.
Our
thoughts may sink, our hopes may run out, the day may groan, our hearts’ string
may snap, our soul may be in anguish, sin- burdened souls may writhe in pain
and despair, may be reaping tares despite sowing wheat, struggling to rise up
in the morning one may stumble and fall, as clouds of regrets of life assail,
loss of direction for life, left us without peace, the toil of years, struggles
and fears and anxiety encircles, and scenes of distress continues: remember the
fullness of His blessing encompasses one’s way according to the riches of His
glory.
Security
of a believer in God’s love, Rom 8:39, meant, absolutely, nothing, which
appears to be good, or appear to be evil shall be able to separate a genuine
believer from the love of God, because His love is vast, wide, high, and deep, broader
than the broadest sea, beyond any human expression with our limited eloquence!
Times and
seasons changes, everything we see around us changes but God’s love in Christ endures
for ever, and tides of joy in softest murmurs continue to roll and brings ray
of bright hope!
