Scripture reference

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Rom 8.28-39

This is an amazing text, read it over and over and be blessed. So dense, and perhaps sometime I'll attempt to write about it. I haven't been reading much or writing much at all recently, but I should have something concrete tomorrow. This is a great post-Easter (everyday if we're honest) thought we need to immerse our brains in: "Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us." Oh, how sweet are those words! The Son of God, who died for us and was risen for us, is at the right hand of God interceding for us! Oh, without the divine love we would be stomped upon like the worms we are, but because of this love we will be ushered into the gates of heaven and worship God for eternity! How blessed is the lamb that was slain?
