Can I Make God Stop Loving Me?
From Romans: A 16-Day Devotional
Do you worry God will stop loving you? Or that He could never love you?
Grace covers all our sins: past, present and future. Romans 8:1-2 says, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Jesus promises not to condemn, but to give freedom from sin, death, guilt and shame to all who are in Him.
God’s grace is big enough to forgive all our sins.
How do you become “in Christ?” It’s simple. Romans 10:8 says if we declare that Jesus is Lord and believe God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Jesus’ invitation to salvation is for everyone. If we’ve accepted that invite, we are in Christ and we are His forever.
Romans 8:38-39 promises us that we cannot lose God’s love. God will not kick us out of the family. In this way, His love makes us “more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37). When we know that nothing can separate us from God, not even death, we can approach each day with confidence.
God’s grace is big enough to forgive all our sins; His power is big enough to conquer them.
Reflect:
- What’s one sin you’re struggling with today? Take some time to confess it to God and ask for forgiveness, knowing He is ready to help you overcome.
- Are you holding on to guilt from a sin you’ve already confessed and turned away from? What’s one fact from Romans 8 that you need to start believing today?
- Are you in Christ? If not, you can be today! Learn more about salvation here or email us at hello@newspring.cc
