Peace In Death
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Romans 8 35
If your faith and trust, is in the Lord Jesus, then you can say with the Apostle Paul, “I am convinced that neither death nor life… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
You see, you and I were not meant for this life alone. We were meant for eternity, and that is why death is not the end. Instead, we will live on, either with God in the joy and peace of Heaven, or separated from God and utterly without hope in the place the Bible calls Hell. Tragically, however, we do not deserve to go to Heaven, because we have all sinned and turned our backs on God. Why should we want to be with Him in eternity, when we do not want anything to do with Him now?
But God loves us, more than anything else in all creation. He yearns for us to be with Him forever; And He has made this possible by the sending of His only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world. By His death on the cross, Christ took upon Himself the judgement we each deserve, and by His resurrection He has opened the door to eternal life.
Today, there is away back to God from the dark path of sin; And that Way is the Lord Jesus, and the journey begins at the cross.
If you belong to Christ today, nothing, absolutely nothing can separate you from the love of God; Indeed, you are going to spend eternity with Him; In Heaven! That is why we Christians can have perfect peace, even in death, because nothing will separate us from our God.

Prayer
Lord God, with a grateful heart I thank You that You have created me for eternity. Thank You, that when I was lost on the dark path of sin, You sent the Lord Jesus to save me and reunites me with You. In Christ's name I bless You. Amen.
