Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? "from the love of Christ" -this is Christ's love for us. Can any one lead Christ to cease loving us? The items mentioned will not make Christ love us less.

"Shall tribulation..." -'The world likes to point to our afflictions as proof of the fact that Christ has ceased to love us, or that his love is imaginary'. (Lenski p. 573)

Some people point to what we were before we became Christians, and say, 'God can never love you', others point to the sins we have committed since, and say, 'Your hopeless'. But those that seek God on His terms are forgiven, regardless of what others say. Some say, if God really loved you (as you claimed) God would certainly have given you. mate, children, health, prosperity, etc..by now.
