Are You Convinced? 5 Questions About God’s Love

Romans 8 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. Beginning in Romans 8:31, Paul asks us five sets of penetrating questions before we get to the resounding climax: nothing can separate us from the love of God!

5 Questions

  1. 31: What then shall we say to these things? Who can be against us?
  2. 32: How shall He [God] not with Him [Jesus] also freely give us all things?
  3. 33: Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect?
  4. 34: Who is he who condemns?
  5. 35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

Questions can transform our walk with God.

Father, You are love, and You have given us so many gifts, but the greatest of these is Your love. Your love is patient and kind. May we reflect Your patience and kindness. Your love isn't focused on Yourself but on others. May we abandon our self-centered focus and rejoice with Your truth. Jesus, You bore all things. You bore our sins on the cross so that we could live with You forever. Holy Spirit, empower us to bear all things, for we believe that You are transforming us. We hope in our God Almighty, and that enables us to endure all things. Your love never ends. Thank You, Father. Amen. Father, we rejoice in where You have placed us this day. Help us to see You in all that we do and in all that we encounter. We know that You have us in Your hand, and You are working Your perfect will in us. May we bless You and all those we see today. Thank You that Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory. Forever. In Jesus' name, amen. Are you anxious? Troubled? Fearful? Want peace even in the midst of the storms in your life? Call out to God. He is near, and He loves you. “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.” (Matthew 6:28-29) Our spiritual worship starts with surrender to God. If God is for you, who can be against you? Who will charge you? Who condemns you? Who will separate you from Christ's love? God loved you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to pay the price for your sins, so that you could live forever basking in His love. “O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; May you bask in God's blessings and rest in His peace.
