AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
Subject: What is blocking us from God's love? |
Bible Note: Rom 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. I ,for one, do not love God to the degree and constancy that He is deserving of. However, I am not without hope. The verses which you used seem to put the burden of maintaining our relationship with Christ squarely on the shoulders of the believer. That is to say that our security in Christ depends on our ability to love Him as we ought. To me that mindset leads inevitably to salvation through works. |
