Good morning! Reminder to join connect group
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died-more than that, who was raised-who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written, ''For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.'' 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
INTRO God is love. That's pretty much the fundamental premise of Christianity. If God was not love, then God would not be God...
But I wonder- Do you ever doubt or question God's love?
We tend to evaluate another's love for us- based on how they treat us. Perhaps you feel that you have not been treated well- by God.
Maybe you've asked yourself questions like this- I know that God loves me but why is he allowing my marriage to suffer?
I know that God loves me so why doesn't he heal me of this health Issue?
Or I've prayed and prayed and prayed for that lost family member. If God is so loving why doesn't he honor my request and save that family member?
If God really loves me, why do I feel so lonely? I know non christian people who don't give God the time of day and their lives are great.
