More Than Conquerors 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all–how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died–more than that, who was raised to life–is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?36As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The only thing that can separate us from God's love is our past. In Jeremiah 31:34 it says God remembers our sins no more... so why should we give Satan a way to come between us and the Father?

It is God's LOVE that keeps us. John 17:23 says God loves us as He loves Jesus! No wonder nothing can separate us from Him - His Love CANNOT let anything take us from Him!
God's love will not even let us fall away from Him. Even if we are "dwelling on the past," that "dwelling" is in the present, and nothing can take us away from God's Love! His Love PURSUES His own (Christians). He will go to the end of the universe to get you, or to bring you back to Him! (See Jeremiah 31:3 and note.)

there is nothing on, above, or beneath the earth that can take us away from Jesus once we are saved. ie. become Christians.

We who are in Christ have been chosen in love before all of creation, called in our own time by the Gospel of grace, justified forever by the word of the Lord through the blood of the Son's sacrifice, and have thus been received into God's family as heirs of eternal glory with Christ Jesus (vv.29-30). The Father has given a final, resounding answer to the problem of sin and death through the cross; more so, He also has given His glorious, everlasting presence to the newly-formed people of God who are brothers and sisters of the Risen Christ and share in His life as well as His death. Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus, who "for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of God" (Hebrews 12:2). The joy that was set before Christ was the joy of seeking and saving the lost, the joy at bringing to the Father a people for His everlasting praise. God has spoken, and He has acted; even once more again He will act to bring all of creation and all of redeemed humanity to completion in Christ (vv.19-21). What can happen? Who can separate? As Paul says earlier in the chapter, "For God has done..." (v. 3)
