Romans 8:38-39
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angles nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 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." (NKJV)
“I love you, but I’m not in love with you.” That’s probably the worst thing a teenage boy could could hear from his crush. That’s right up there with, “Let’s just be friends.” Aren’t you glad that God doesn’t operate in that kind of love? For Him, that kind of love doesn’t even make sense.
God does not love like we love. Think about it. If God could “fall in love” with us, doesn’t that mean He could also fall out of love with us? God cannot operate in our way of loving, because love isn’t just something God has, feels, or does….it’s something He is (1 John 4:8).
God is also infinite, which means that He has no limits, no boundaries, and no end. That means His love has no limits, no boundaries, and no end. That’s great news! If God’s love is limitless, that means that no person, no matter how wicked; no matter how sinful, is ever so far gone as to be exempt from the love of God! Absolutely nothing can separate us from it.
