Memesplanation Short: Romans 8:38-39

Romans 8:38-39
So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!

Here, Paul restates his case from vs 35, only adding that there is no power in the heavens or on earth, no shame from your past, no fear of things to come, or hardship in the present (no matter who or what is really behind those circumstances), and no power anywhere in the created realms which could divide us from the love of God (and God is love). Jesus’ work on the cross and empty grave made that a concrete reality. If you are having a hellish week or a horrible life, cling to this truth. You can have peace and solace in this truth, no matter what happens to or around you.
