# Romans 8:38-39 and Justification Romans 8:38-39 teaches that nothing can separate justified believers from God's love in Christ: "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (ESV). This passage emphasizes the eternal security that flows from justification—once God has declared believers righteous through faith in Christ, that justified status is permanent and unbreakable because it rests on God's unchanging love rather than human merit.
