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.

Moses' parents could no longer hide their three-month-old son, Moses,

They set the basket among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
Moses' sister stood at a
distance to see what would happen to him
(Exodus 2:2-3).
By faith, Moses' parents
hid him for three months (Hebrews 11:23)
and then let him go in
faith.
We must also let our
children go in faith and watch from a distance
to see how God works in
their lives by faith.

While praying for our
children with faith, expecting and waiting,
God will deliver our
children in His time and in His way
(Ref.: Exodus 2:2-6).
