Session 16

Nothing can separate you from my love

From Promises: A 30-Day Devotional

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

- Romans 8:38-39

If you knew you couldn’t lose, would you bet differently? Most of us would say yes. We’d go all in and wait with anticipation, not worry, for the outcome.

God promises us that His love is a sure bet. Once we’re in Christ, nothing we do and nothing that happens to us can separate us from God’s love. He does not kick us out of His family when we mess up. God’s grace is big enough to forgive all our sins, and His power is big enough to conquer them. That fact allows us to approach each day with confidence.

Reflect: 

• Is there anything you’re holding back from God because you’re worried He’ll stop loving you?
• How does it change your perception of death and your approach to life knowing that nothing, not even death, can separate you from God’s love?
