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.

The resurrected Jesus

Two angels dressed in white asked her,

Similarly, when Jesus ascended into heaven,

They said, "Men of Galilee, why do you

(Acts 1:10-11).
Rising

and
appearing to Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb,
Jesus,
who ascended into heaven,
will
come back at the time appointed by God the Father's authority:
"Yes,
I am coming soon."
"Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus"
(Revelation
22:20).
