# Romans 8:38-39 **"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."** (NIV) In context, Paul concludes Romans 8—a chapter focused on life in the Spirit and believers' security as God's children—by declaring that absolutely nothing can sever the bond between Christians and God's love demonstrated in Christ. This triumphant assurance follows Paul's argument that those justified by faith face no condemnation (8:1) and that God works all things for good for those He has called (8:28-30), making God's love in Christ an unbreakable anchor for believers regardless of any earthly or spiritual circumstances.
