These days i really enjoy some words in Romans 8. So I share with you. What , then , shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 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? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that,who was raise to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sleep to be slaughtered.' No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,nor any powers, 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. -------------Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Thanks for lord's strong Love! Let us share this word!

Romans 8 was the first chapter I ever studied in the Bible after becoming a Christian and it has always been my favourite. Romans is my favourite book. The verses you quote are a wonderful assurance for the Christian, but of course, they have nothing for the unbeliever. While God loves every person with an intense love, the love described here is reserved for His own children. Once we belong to Him, reconciled through the blood of Christ, and born into His family, NOTHING can separate us from His love.

Thank you for your sharing. Yes, the love described here is reserved for his own children. He is responsible for this love but only to his child and who believe him.
