Romans 8:35-39
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who 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 created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Since Christ justifies we who are united by faith to God, nothing can break that bond. No difficulties, no trying times, no persecution, no want for food or clothing or shelter, and no violence to kill our bodies. Because He conquered sin and death and hell, we join in the victory parade over all these things. Nothing in heaven or earth takes His sovereign dominion away. Absolutely nothing anywhere can take us from our Lord and Savior. Not now, not ever. His love covers us in His eternal and all-sufficient justification of mercy in grace. We who are His are kept safe and secure in His mighty hand. Be certain of your calling and position.
