Convinced of the Father's Love

  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.  for I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:37-39 In Genesis when God created the world and man, He declared it good, very good.  Man had not done anything yet to prove or earn God's love.  God loved and declared goodness because that is what He saw in His creation.  God loved and declared goodness because that is who He is - period.  You and I will do nothing to alter this and Paul declares the reality of this truth for himself.   Paul writes the words, declaring them for all of us to believe.

And then Jesus reveals a bit of Himself to her with the words that He is the resurrection and the life and she responds to Jesus' question - "Yes, Lord; I have come to believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God and He who comes into the world." Our journey so often holds this same tension - the tension ...
