If God Is for Us, We Will Never Be Abandoned (3 of 3)
Series: God Is for Us

Romans 8:31-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 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 (vv. 38-39).
TOGETHER FOREVER
During a wedding ceremony, the couple is warned that bad circumstances might come, such as sickness and poverty. They might not ''live happily ever after.'' And they are asked to promise that they will stay together as husband and wife ''until death do us part.''
I believe that 99.9% of brides and grooms are sincere when they make that promise. They truly believe that they can't live without each other, that they'll be together forever. But, sadly, less than 99.9% of marriages don't last a lifetime.
Marriages end for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes a marriage ends simply because the couple falls out of love. They just don't love each other the way they once did.
Will God ever stop loving us? Would God ever say, ''I'm tired of [insert your name]. He/she is constantly falling short of my expectations. He/she will no longer be my child.''
[Read Romans 8:31-39.]

- ''In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins'' (1 John 4:10).
- ''God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us'' (Rom. 5:8).
- God ''did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all'' (Rom. 8:32).
If you want to know what real love is, consider what God has done for us. To love is to give, to give help to t ...
