Rom.8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 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.

Here the apostle Paul concludes his thoughts in Roman's Chapter Eight in a glowing spiritual crescendo bring his thoughts to highest point of God's heavenly mountain, love!

1 John 4:16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

Love is the antithesis of the flesh, flesh rejects God's love that his love will perfect us into eternal life. Flesh worship in fear of guilt, distrusting itself and other, and above all God's love. Flesh cannot get past judgment of the flesh, it cannot imagine not being rejected for failing to perform perfectly in the flesh on earth. The flesh builds a bank account for itself by works in every aspect of its life to protect itself from God's wrath, not even comprehending what Paul was saying here?

1 John 4:8 He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.

God's love cannot fail, God's love is not a crap shoot, it not based upon our goodness, or our works. God's love is from the person of God, a principal love that removes our judgment, not sometimes we get when we have a good day, but every minute of every day when we have our worst days, why? Because God Jehovah is our creator, he does not live a lie like we human do in thinking we can be good enough by our own merit, or even our own love to gain eternal life.

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.

God truth is based upon eternal life, an incorruptible truth that cannot lie or give us false hope, like we humans do too each other. Paul is stating here under Holy Spirit that God is love, and those created in love by their Father YHWH cannot be separated by any thing on this earth or in heaven, nothing! God will not let go of his own son's created by love, not law, not performance, not position, not religion, not power, not wealth, nor human weakness. Not Satan, not judgments made by men against God chosen ones.

Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

Christ striped all authority when he ascended into heaven, all power and authority by earthly agents, and evil spirits judgments, were taken away for God's children; now full legal jurisdiction of God children were undere control of one person that birth them from love, Jehovah God, through Jesus Christ in his merit!

Eph.1:20 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. 1:22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
1:23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

No human being could birth the new creation, no religion, no devil, not science, nothing in heaven or upon earth had any merit in birthing of God's new creation, but God the Almighty alone from what? His inseparable love for them. This defeated Satan, and all his claims about God withholding good from his children. This one act humiliated Satan and all his thoughts of being worthy in demanding merit, recognition from God as ruler of our earth was put into the dust of a viper mouth. God took the lowly things, not the wise of Satan world and gave them perfection in love by his own son merit, and adding insult to injure – freely!

1Cor.1:22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
1:23 but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks, 1:24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1:26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 1:27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; 1:28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are: 1:29 that no flesh should boast before God. 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: 1:31 that, according as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."{Jeremiah 9:24}

Human can wring their hands, they can come up with every precautionary legal argument to keep trust for God and his children under their control, but not one person or thing can control God's love, or take away the gift of eternal life freely given them by proof of the Christ indwelling them, not even themselves, when they feel unworthy and condemned, no! God's word is what made them new, planted them as wheat, created them into the personality of Christ, God's word cannot fail; for God is love, love cannot fail.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."

Isaiah 41:28 When I look, there is no man; even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask of them, can answer a word.

Psalms 138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

Let Satan terrify by legal wranglings, let Satan blow with accusation from false religion, false brothers, world leaders, the job was completed long ago when Christ finished the work of God in ascending to heaven stripping all authority from earthly institutions placing all power in Christ hands. This is the summation of the whole in the book of Roman, the contrast between Spirit and flesh, why love of humans fails on earth, why all things created by Satan and man will be shaken until every work it is exposed as death, and corruption having no hope in eternal life.

Col.2:9 For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily,
2:10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power; 2:11 in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. 2:13 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 2:14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; 2:15 having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Let us not live in the past, let us not live in the future, let us live in Christ rejoicing in our hope. We need not go into the wilderness for new prophecy, we need not worry if God's love will fail us, or if we will be provided all the spiritual food we need, or association. We need not be in a quaternary over if we are doing enough good works, or searching for the right group. We need to live in God's love trusting he will not change and fool us like false religion. That my friend requires the one thing that Christ is looking for in us, faith!

1Cor.13:4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, 13:5 doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
13:6 doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 1:6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

James 1:7 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord. 1:8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 1:9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position; 1:10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
1:11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him. 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. 1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. 1:19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 1:20 for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.
