"Nothing Can Separate Us"
Romans 8:31-39 

 

"weep with those who weep"         Romans 12:15  

Three things we learn from tragedy:  

1.     Life is frail.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God.

"The LORD's loved ones are precious to him; it grieves
him when they die."                     Psalm 116:15

God touches through us  in order to love others. 

2.  We live in a fallen world.

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with
      good.”                                           Romans 12:2

We are vessels of God's love reaching out and 
     making a difference.

"You are the light of the world...Let your light shine 
     before men."                                 Matthew 5:14&16
 

3.    God turns things around.  

"And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love him, who have been called according
to his purpose."                             Romans 8:28

God will not allow things to separate us from His love.  

Until our faith is tested, we will never know how we
are going to respond.
