75-6 How can we escape the love of God?


 If we could in any way escape the unfathomable love of God, wouldn’t that mean Satan was strong enough to beat God in the battle of Good vs. Evil?
But that is impossible for Satan and impossible for us to be unloved for Romans 35-39 says “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
 “For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
It does not just say the love of God, but the love of God in Christ Jesus and God loves His son more than we can fathom; how much then does His love exceed the limits of our imagination, or those of sin and death?

Romans 8:30-31  “What then shall we say to these things?  If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?”

Psalm 103:11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;”
