Romans 8 : 35, 37-39
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Scriptural truths,and their clear interpretation through Christian Science, form our formidable arsenal in this combat between metaphysics and material concepts. I find that when I make these Truths my own, like the above; when the moments when error seem or feel so real approach, I can question what would attempt to separate me from infinite Love. Can these lies with their fancy names like anxiety, headache, dizziness, eczema, psoriasis, materia medica verdicts, that unpaid bill, discordant relationship, injustice etc..separate me from my eternal UNITY with God.Can they change that unchanging spiritual perfection? If I accept any of these lies would I not be forfeiting my “sonship” with my loving Father-Mother. Faith in this ONENESS is our salvation.
In these moments my choice to honor my Ever-present Father-Mother with the words in the above verses, followed by a praise or thankful hymn like 280, would lift the clouds of gloom and allow the feel of the light of Love. Try it, you will love the effect! The knowing of our inseparability from Truth and Love, comforts, uplifts and heals.
Yes, who or what can separate me from the LOVE of God?
