Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Romans 8:35-39, KJV

35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When this life is over...left behind are our bodies, clothing, houses, cars, jewelry, jobs, etc. We are inevitably separated from these things, but nothing separates us from the love of Christ. We leave behind foes, evil doers, manipulators, con artists, et cetera, but nothing separates us from the love of Christ. The faithless, the scorners and mockers, the naysayer... all left behind, but nothing separates us from the love of Christ.

For just as Paul stated I too 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 creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
