Rom.8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Separation is a human experience, part of the life cycle in which we must live; it was experienced by the first human couple ( Adam and Eve) in denying the love of God, their personal conduct separated them from God's love, where sin and darkness could not reside with the love of God's light. Here is the lesson for all of us in Christ Jesus, that our own separation is from our sins and not God's, when we feels separated from our creator it is because of sin.

James 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.

Does this mean we have to be sinless not to be separated from God, and how can we be sinless when we all sin? And here is the second lesson of faith in Christ Jesus, we are sinless in Christ Jesus, Jesus removed that which condemns us of sin, the Old Law, and any other law of sin against us. We now stand sinless before God, not because we don't sin, it is because the law convicting us of sin has been removed by the merit of Christ Jesus worthy blood. In other words, it was enough for God to redeem all that wanted to partake of His Son blood and flesh.

John 6:54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

We cannot be separated from God's love, in this undeserved kindness of Christ Jesus life too us. This is the context of Paul's words in the
Roman's chapter eight. Although we sin and feel separated from our Father we are not, it is that feeling of separation in darkness that grows our faith into perfect love, which is perfect faith. In our separation we are dependent upon Christ Jesus making intercession for us, what does that mean.

It means we are being translated into the kingdom of Christ Jesus love from sin laws. Life is so very precious that God must teach each one of His children the value of sinless life, that is, what kills the Spirit of God in human being is sin. He is not teaching us how not to sin by law, He is removing sin from our thoughts which comes from the human heart. In other words, law create more sin, they do not remove sin from humans, they only point out that we are sinner, and need laws to control bad actions.

Human on the other hand believe if the obey a rule perfectly they have no sin or lesser sins, but they are wrong and this is the reason God removed His Law. God removed the conviction of law, because mankind could not stop sinning. He did this by the blood of Christ Jesus redeeming us into the sinless body of Christ Jesus, making us sinless without conviction before Him.

God did give us personal power not too sin and live up to his righteous law perfectly, God knew we could not do that, He instead removed the law, so we would not be convicted of violating it any longer. This is a confusing issue for most Christian's, they feel separation from God by personal sin, judging themselves by God righteous law, condemning them still further, believing they are not worthy enough to have God's love.

1John 3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 3:21 Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God.

Which if they were still under the power of the law would all be true, but they are not, nor can we as human invalidate the worthy blood of Christ Jesus in removing the law. When we as Christian's come above ourselves, comprehending fully that it is not about our personal worthiness or goodness, it is about God's righteous requirements by Christ Jesus that He redeemed us from sin law, we learn to rest in that goodness and not our own.

It is in this context Paul guarantee all Christian's in Christ Jesus that they cannot under any human experience be separated from God's love despite their own failing and others judgments of them.
