Love from Yahweh's lens (part 3 and conclusion):
Bible
Texts (Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New
Testament with keywords Concordance-CLNT (Romans 8:38-39)
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messengers, nor sovereignties, nor what is impending, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord"
Last week's blog discussed the love of Christ for humanity. It is love of Christ not love for Christ. Please, read the last week blog if you have not.
Paul understood the deep love of Christ and he was persuaded to give some instances of this kind of love. According to the statements Paul wrote in Romans chapter 8:38-39, nothing that Yahweh created will change the love he has for humanity. This is an absolute statement. It is not conditional. The love of Christ is the lens Yahweh uses to see his creations. Religious people may say otherwise, but it is not negotiable. This is the word of Yahweh and should not be fabricated.
You may be surprised that Paul wrote this in the scripture despite the fact that many have used other statements he wrote about abstinent from sinful things. Paul realized in Romans 9:15 through 23 that Yahweh creates both good and evil people to fulfill the plans he has for them. He loved Jacob and hated Esau prior their birth. He creates good and evil people from the same clay. He created Pharaoh to do evil and created Moses to counter him. Nobody can withstand his will. I would like to discuss in brief about how the white throne judgments may be. I bet you want to read this blog too.
Finally, Paul has understood the deep things about Yahweh. Deep love beyond our five senses. Far beyond what the 12 disciples of Yeshua may have known. Paul stressed that the love of Christ for us is stronger than death, life, any messenger (including but not limited to any clergyman), the way God relates with people (Jews and non-Jews), any principality and power you may think of, depth (Hades) or height (celestial), any other creation or whatever is yet to happen (to you). This kind of love is unconditional. It is priceless! Christ Yeshua paid for our sins in full.
As simple as this message is, many religious people may find it difficult to believe but they will understand it at the appointed time (I Corinthians 15: 22). We show our gratitude to Yahweh by living right according to different measures of faith and grace he has given to us.
So, if anyone preaches another gospel to you, such is an anathema (Galatians 1:8).
I hope you have been blessed with this week's blog. This concluded the three 3 lessons.
I hope to bring a new topic for you next week.
Shalom!
Praise be to Yahweh!
