Rm 8:31- 39


-Gospel Power-

31 What, then, shall we say in response 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, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j]

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Chorizo - " shall desperate" in Greek... Rm 8:35
We still live in the in between, we still have enemies, live in the love and finished work of Christ.

Don't be insufficiently clothed, spiritually naked, and exposed. Nor vulnerable and living in shame.

Our enemy is not Creator, but he is crafty. He turns on you.

In the garden God said to Adam and Eve, "where are you and who told you, you were naked?"

Are you suffering? Having trouble, hardship, famine persecution? Maybe today is painful for you. A reminder of what you didn't have or miss now.

It's all real. But can you suffer with hope!?
Is there that question, why did Adam and Eve eat that apple? You are them. Something doesn't feel right about that, but it points us to God. Our Navigator.

We are homesick for a future home.
Anyone else think Lazarus got denied for a short but!? He was here, then there, then here again. No wonder Jesus wept. How many years did Mom have for me. Ones I never saw but know for sure they were there.

When all your hope was lost, Jesus still came to raise Lazarus from the dead. For us to see that kind of hope.

Charles Spurgeon quoted I've learned to kiss the rock..

Rm 8:37.- " ... we're more than conquerors"..
We are loved. God uses the enemy to serve His purposes
.
Mom knew this. Stick with that heart and mindset..the Navigator. He is still moving in our midst.

God says, you win. Period. We know the final score. Heb 11:1-3 God is not done with us yet.
