Through Him that loved us

Romans 8:37-39 (KJV)
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
While doing my devotions I ran across these verses and they stood out. Verse 37 states “we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” then John 3:16 tells us who this “him” is. It states “For God so loved the world,” that is “us.” That makes us know that we are more than conquerors through God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.
We are so loved that God sent his son knowing the price he would have to pay. Then Jesus loved us enough to be willing to come down here and face what we have to face on a daily basis, just because he loved us. The Holy Ghost because he loved us, shared the sacrifice of the other two by being willing to come and help us in our daily lives.
Then in verse 38-39, it tells us of what can separate us from that love. Only we can separate us from the Triune Godhead. This list is a powerful tool to weld against the Devil when he starts testing our faith. If we remember these verses, we will know that God is able to deliver us because we are his blood washed children and he loves us.
