The Greek words used here, "hyps&#333;ma" (height) and "bathos" (depth), suggest the vastness of creation and the immeasurable distances that exist within it. Historically, these terms could also refer to astrological or cosmic powers believed to influence human fate. Paul is emphasizing that no cosmic force or spatial dimension can sever the bond between believers and God's love. This reflects the omnipresence and omnipotence of God, who transcends all physical and spiritual realms.<p><b>nor anything else in all creation</b><br />This phrase serves as a comprehensive inclusion of all possible entities or forces that might be imagined. The Greek word "ktisis" (creation) encompasses everything that has been made, indicating that no created thing, whether seen or unseen, has the power to disrupt the relationship between God and His people. This assurance is rooted in the understanding of God as the Creator, who holds authority over all creation. Historically, this would have been a powerful statement against any pagan beliefs in multiple gods or spiritual forces that could interfere with divine love.<p><b>will be able to separate us</b><br />The Greek verb "dynamai" (to be able) underscores the absolute inability of any force to achieve separation. The use of this verb in the future tense indicates a perpetual promise, assuring believers of their eternal security in God's love. The concept of separation here is not merely physical but also spiritual and relational. This assurance would have been particularly comforting to early Christians facing persecution, reminding them that no external circumstance could sever their connection to God.<p><b>from the love of God</b><br />The "love of God" is the central theme of this passage, highlighting the divine, unconditional, and sacrificial nature of God's love for humanity. The Greek word "agape" is used here, which denotes a selfless, unwavering love that seeks the best for others. This love is not based on human merit but is a reflection of God's character and His covenantal faithfulness. In the broader scriptural context, God's love is demonstrated supremely through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.<p><b>that is in Christ Jesus our Lord</b><br />The phrase "in Christ Jesus our Lord" signifies the means by which believers experience God's love. The preposition "in" (Greek "en") indicates a profound union and identification with Christ. This union is the basis for the believer's security and assurance, as it is through Christ's redemptive work that God's love is fully realized and accessible. The title "our Lord" affirms the authority and lordship of Jesus, emphasizing His role as the mediator of God's love. Historically, this declaration would have been a bold affirmation of faith in the face of Roman imperial claims of lordship, asserting that true allegiance belongs to Christ alone.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a></b><br>The author of the Book of Romans, Paul was a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and theological teachings.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_roman_church.htm">The Roman Church</a></b><br>The recipients of the letter, the early Christian community in Rome, which was diverse and included both Jewish and Gentile believers.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/christ_jesus.htm">Christ Jesus</a></b><br>Central to the message of Romans, Jesus is the embodiment of God's love and the means through which believers are united with God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/creation.htm">Creation</a></b><br>Refers to everything that exists, emphasizing the vastness of God's creation and the assurance that nothing within it can separate believers from God's love.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_love.htm">God's Love</a></b><br>A central theme in this passage, highlighting the unbreakable bond between God and believers through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_assurance_of_god's_love.htm">The Assurance of God's Love</a></b><br>Believers can rest in the certainty that God's love is unwavering and eternal.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_christ's_sacrifice.htm">The Power of Christ's Sacrifice</a></b><br>Jesus' role as Lord and Savior is central to our unbreakable connection with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_immutability_of_god's_promise.htm">The Immutability of God's Promise</a></b><br>God's promises are steadfast, and His love is not subject to change or external forces.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_in_confidence.htm">Living in Confidence</a></b><br>Understanding this truth empowers believers to live boldly, knowing they are secure in God's love.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/overcoming_fear_and_doubt.htm">Overcoming Fear and Doubt</a></b><br>Recognizing that nothing can separate us from God's love helps to dispel fear and doubt in our spiritual journey.<a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/romans/8.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(39) <span class= "bld">Nor height, nor depth.</span>--No remoteness in space.
