181. Nothing Can Separate Us From God, Who IS Love

Download/Play MP3

The New Testament writers point out that nothing can separate us from God's love and that God is love. So... what can separate us from God Himself? Nothing! God's love is unconditional - it has no conditions. He loves us. Period. He showed it to us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us - the ungodly. Somehow some people have gotten the idea that now that we're Christians, the things we do or don't do will keep us from God. But nothing can separate us from God! Nothing can separate us from His love! His perfect love should cast aside all fears and worries that we'll ever have our fellowship with Him broken. Through His love and by the finished work of Christ - and by nothing we've done or not done - we remain in perfect, unbroken fellowship with God.

  2. Hey bro! It was really just a joke. Others have called it the 'opinionated' version, sort of in a sarcastic way, since the authors added extra words to help "amplify" the true meaning of the original text in its English form.

    As we said, the Amplified version really does bring out a lot of great stuff. It's truly a great study tool.
