Sevita's question on her blog today got me thinking... "what does love conquer, if it conquers all? a good question. i know i have read the word "conquer" in the bible somewhere. so i just went to www.biblegateway.com and did a search. yep, it took me the romans 8...a chapter i have been going back to alot over the past year. this passage helps me to understand what God conquered when he sent Jesus to love us. let me know what you think.
Romans8:31-39 msg
So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us�who was raised to life for us!�is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing�nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable�absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
