As you point out, Pastor Mike, today's passage is much deeper than most people think. It is a wonderful verse to take the time to ponder. Let us go to a quiet place with this verse, and invite our hearts and minds to reflect upon the deep meaning that the Holy Spirit wants us to learn. Thank you for giving us a nudge to do just that.

We try to also use the "presence gauge" of Jesus Himself: "Would I do this thing if Jesus was visibly sitting right next to me?" His Spirit is, after all, right here inside of us believers. Another challenging gauge that helps us is: "Would I want to be doing this, if Jesus came back at this very moment to take us to Heaven?" We miss Hawaii and send everyone our aloha from Virginia

Romans 8:29-39 “What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
As many of you know that last month I lost my sister; well, not necessarily lost her but she went to be with the Lord earlier than expected. At first it was a very heartbreaking moment for me and my family. For those of you who have already experienced that kind of situation you know how difficult it was to accept it. But the fact of the matter is that that’s part of life and everyone of us had or will experienced it one way or another. We tend to question God for the things we face in life but what we need to do is to remember that no matter how difficult life can be sometimes God is still in control. Sometimes He may choose not to take away all the pains and heartaches from us, but He promises to be with us through them all. It is easy to say that when things are going well, but when we have come face to face with such a situation then that is when we can truly experience the hands of God upon our lives.
The Bible asked us a very important question in our text, in verse 31 it says “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Simply no one can be against us if God is on our side. He is our refuge and our strength in times of trouble and tribulation. No matter what happen we can always count on God to carry us through the storms of life. “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Simply trust Him with everything we face and He will take us to the other side. God so loved us that He would not let us suffer alone. Romans 8:38-39 reads “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Truly nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. The greater our problems and sufferings are the more we could experience the awesome power of God in our lives. Are you experiencing the awesome power of God through sufferings and trials?

In Christ,

Pastor Anter
