The Grands Letter (GLJ)

Romans 8:38-39. “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8 is one of the supreme highlights of the entire book!
Having triumphed over the circumstances of chapter 7, Paul delights
in the invincible, inseparable, incomparable love of God in Christ Jesus.
Paul has lived through every conceivable trouble known to mankind;
and he credits his survival to the LORD who loves him. Yes, it’s true
that even after declaring our love for Him and acknowledging His
divine love for us, we’ve often fallen prey to the temptations of Satan.
Our love for Christ has often dimmed; but never has His love for us!
We did not redeem ourselves from sin; and His love that did redeem
us has never abandoned us no matter how grievously we have sinned.
We can only love Him because He continues to love us and hold us
securely in His unfathomable love. May we learn to love Him as He
loves us.
We love you and pray for you every, single day,
Nana & Dado III
