The Inseparable Love of God (1) [ Romans 8:38-39 ] Why can nothing separate us from the love of God? 1. Because God’s love is eternal. Romans 8:29a says: “For those whom He foreknew…” The word “foreknew” refers to before eternity began —before the creation of heaven and earth . The phrase “those whom He foreknew” does not simply mean knowing about someone intellectually, but rather loving them. In other words, it refers to “those whom God loved from eternity past.” Amos 3:2a says: “You only have I known of all the families of the earth.” If “known” merely meant intellectual knowledge, that would imply that God only knew Israel and did not know the other nations—which cannot be true, because the all-knowing God lacks knowledge of nothing.

우리에게 향하신 하나님의 인자하심과 진실하심이 크고 영원하기에 하나님께 감사하므로 찬양을 드립니다.
"I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness
which You have shown to Your servant; for with my staff only I crossed this
Jordan, and now I have become two companies." (Genesis 32:10).
When I think about my whole families, I am very grateful for God's
lovingkindness and faithfulness. His abundant blessing upon us is very
great even though we are unworthy.
