# Romans 8:38-39 and the Fear of the Lord Romans 8:38-39 states: "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things future, 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 doesn't directly address the fear of the Lord, but rather teaches about God's **inseparable love** for believers in Christ. It assures us that no power or circumstance can break our relationship with God, which can deepen our reverence (fear) of the Lord by highlighting His unwavering commitment to us rather than teaching us to be afraid of losing His favor.
