So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we
lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us,
embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his
own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for
us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s
chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for
us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very
moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to
drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not
trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not
bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in
Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re
sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us
because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing
living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low,
thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
