1 | What is blocking us from God's love? | Rom 8:39 | New Creature | 181342 | ||
Then why does Scripture say; John 15:9 Remain in My love. Joh 15:10 If you keep My commands you will remain in My love, Jude 1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, and Isa 59:2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear. |

2 | What is blocking us from God's love? | Rom 8:39 | Wild Olive Shoot | 181364 | ||
New Creature, nothing is blocking God's love. The verses you cite all refer to our love to and of Him or as in Isaiah 59:2, something we have done to hide God from us. How can the command be issued for us to keep ourselves in the Love of God if the love referenced is that of God's? Seems He would be issuing that command to Himself??? "The reason which he gives for their doing this is the strength of the love which he had shown for them. His love was so great for them that he was about to lay down his life. This constitutes a strong reason why we should continue in his love: "... ..."In my love - In love to me. Thus it is expressed in the Greek in the next verse. The connection also demands that we understand it of our love to him, and not of his love to us. The latter cannot be the subject of a command; the former may. See also Luk 11:42; 1Jo 2:5; Jud 1:21." - Albert Barnes The throne of grace is always accessible to us, we simply choose not to approach. Stand in His grace, WOS |
