Ep 97 – Romans 8:31-39

In the final verses of chapter eight, Paul stresses the irrepressible, unavoidable and unbelievable love of God for His children. This love, ultimately expressed in the selfless sacrifice of His own Son as payment for our sins, is like nothing we have ever seen before. It's not based on our performance, so it's completely undeserved and impossible to un-earn. In other words, there's nothing we can ever do that will make God stop loving us. And there is nothing anyone else can do to separate us from God's love. God loved us enough to send His Son to die for us. And His love will not be completely fulfilled until He sends His Son back to get us. And between those two events in our life, He continues to pour out His love on us as He patiently, graciously and mercifully transforms us into the likeness of His Son. His love for us came at a great cost, and will last forever.
