“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Yet in all these things we are more then conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:35, 37 NKJV)

If we are His, no power on earth or in heaven or in hell can prevent His bringing us to Himself in the eternal presence of God. This is one of the most magnificent passages in all the Bible.

Christians need have no doubts about any aspect of their salvation. If God has given the greatest of all gifts, the gift of his Son, nothing is beyond him. They need not fear any accusations against them, because the one who has declared them righteous is God himself, and he has done so on the basis of the perfect work of Jesus Christ.

Suffering does not separate us from Christ but actually carries along toward our ultimate goal. Through Christ we are assured of final victory. No matter what happens to us, nothing can separate us from the unchanging love of God.
