THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST
By Pastor Floyd Baker
Scripture Reading: Romans 8:39
In our pre-marital counseling we spend
a great deal of time in Ephesians chapter five looking at the
responsibility of the wife and the husband to each other in the
marriage. One of the most difficult instructions we find is when the
wife is told “submit yourself unto your own husband, as unto the
Lord.” What we point out to the husband to be, is that the wife
“needs” the security of his love. That is why we see that the
husband is “to love his wife as Christ loved the church, and gave
himself for it.” There is security in love!
What blessed security the child of God
has in God’s love. This is why Paul could write, “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”
(Romans 8:38, 39). How needful it is for us to realize that God has
our welfare in mind in all that He does and allows in our lives. This
is the reality of Romans 8:28.
We have the confidence that in death,
absent from the body is at home with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8).
But what about life, when things appear to go wrong? Yes, Paul
declares that not even life with all of its problems and difficulties
will remove us out of God’s love. This love as we note is “in
Christ Jesus,” and we are in Him for time and eternity. How
wonderful for us to rest in that love, and to enjoy it each day. May
we too be “persuaded” of the wonderful love of God.
Faith never knows where it is being led,
but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

Compassion is difficult to give away
because it keeps coming back.
