Romans 8 - More Than Conquerors
What, then, shall we say in response 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, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died - more than that, who was raised to life - is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, 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: 31-39.
Here you find an amazing passage explaining how if you are a genuine believer and saved that NOTHING can take that away. Absolutely nothing. No sin, there is nothing you can say or do that will take away your salvation once you have accepted Christ into your heart and as the Messiah. I have a long history of worries about things that this verse has helped me with. There are so many things I would worry about, that somehow God wouldn't forgive me. But I realize from this verse that once you are saved, you are saved forever. When I first read this passage I didn't understand that it was only applying to genuine believers. I thought it was applying to everyone and I kept wondering "but the people who are in hell are separated from God?" But even Revelations makes sense once it is explained to you! Here is a good song you should listen to: Psalm 139 (You Are There) - MercyMe
