Mon.’s Devo - The Incredible Love of God

Read Romans 8:31-39 If God be on our side, who can stand against us! What a powerful revelation! If God didn’t hold back the one thing he loved the most just to save us, he will surely not hold anything else from us. God will stand for us and defend us against the devil’s accusations. Jesus is at God’s right hand praying for us and standing up for us. Nothing can come between us and God’s love for us not tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, or sword. In all these things we are more than conquerors through Jesus. I once heard a great picture of what it means to be more than a conqueror. The guy who goes to the arena and fights a gruesome fight in the ring and wins the money is the conqueror, but the wife who sits at home waiting for that check is the one who is more than a conqueror. She did nothing but wait and believe in her husband and she got the money. Jesus is our fighter who went to the cross to purchase our salvation. We are the wife who waits for the check. Salvation is free. Jesus paid our price. He did it because he loves us so much. Nothing can separate us from this love; not death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, nor any other creature. How can we walk in any kind of fear if we truly grasp God’s great love. Lord, I needed this reminder this morning. Thank you for your undeserving unending love.
