35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

Can anything that happens to us on this earth separate us from the love of Christ? The answer is no, no, no! This momentary affliction that we experience during our earthly life in Christ is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory (v.18, 2 Cor. 4:17-18). Every bit of suffering is being used for our good (v.28). And yet while our enemies cannot condemn us (v.34), they may indeed kill us. It may even be that Satan is given authority by God to go so far as to murder us (Rev. 2:8-11). But God's love in Christ is never more real than in our weakest moments; He will see us through every step of faith for our good until we come to be in His glorious presence. Jesus says to us, "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matt. 10:28). It is the love of Christ, abundantly poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, that will see us through all things and provide us strength in our weakest moments so that we will persevere to the end in the hope of the Gospel (see Colossians 1:21-23).
