~ I Am Assured I Cannot Be Separated
From Christ’s Love ~
Introduction
~ When Christians understand the various
characteristics and aspects of the birthright which came with their second birth,
they comprehend their identity in Christ. Once Christians understand their identity, their
destiny is also clear! This series of “Abundant Life Now” posts will
look at one of those facets each week.
This Week’s Verse
~ “Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: ‘For Your sake we are
killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ Yet in all these things we are more than
conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor
life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things
to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans
8:35-39).
~~~ EXPLANATORY
“IDENTITY IN CHRIST” NOTES ~~~
(1) Each Monday ALN posts an example of
Scripture’s description of aspects/characteristics of Christians—those who have
personally trusted in Jesus Christ, The Messiah, as their personal Savior.
(2) This series is not intended to be an
exhaustive list.
(3) God the Father described Himself to Moses as
the great “I AM” (Exodus 3:14).
God the Son also said “I AM”
(John 8:58).
(4) Jesus Christ is the Son of God and several
times in the Gospel of John He refers to Himself as “I am.” “I am the Bread of Life” (6:35-51), “I am the Light of the World” (8:12,
9:5), “I am the Door” (10:7-9), “I am the Good Shepherd” (10:11-14), “I am the Son of God” (10:36), “I am the Resurrection and the Life”
(11:25), “I am the Way, the Truth,
and the Life” (14:6), “I am in the
Father, and the Father in Me … Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me” (John 14:10-11), and “I am the True Vine” (15:1-5).
(5) Individual Christians are also sons and
daughters of God. This series will show
some of the various “I am” aspects
of a Christian.
