Promises As Sure As The Promise Giver
The first rule of prophetic understanding is this. God keeps His promises. That’s the key to the things going on in the world right now. God is keeping His promises. Romans 8 is a glorious chapter with an especially uplifting conclusion. Verse 35 asks, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” It gives a list of fearful things — “tribulation… distress… persecution… famine… peril…sword.” Then verses 37-39 (NKJV) wipe them away. “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 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.” That’s the stuff 1 Peter 1:8 calls, “joy inexpressible and full of glory.”
