In biblical times, height and depth could symbolize the heavens and the underworld, respectively, representing the totality of the universe. This echoes <a href="/psalms/139-8.htm">Psalm 139:8</a>, where the psalmist declares that God's presence is inescapable, whether in heaven or in Sheol. The imagery underscores the omnipresence and omnipotence of God, assuring believers that no cosmic force or spiritual realm can sever their connection to His love.<p><b>nor anything else in all creation</b><br>This phrase broadens the scope to include all created things, reinforcing the idea that nothing within the created order can disrupt the bond between God and His people. This includes both seen and unseen entities, such as angels, demons, or any other spiritual powers. The phrase reflects the biblical teaching that God, as the Creator, is sovereign over all creation (<a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16-17</a>). It assures believers that no part of creation, regardless of its power or influence, can thwart God's purpose or diminish His love.<p><b>will be able to separate us</b><br>The assurance here is of the permanence and security of the believer's relationship with God. The use of the future tense "will be able" indicates a definitive promise that extends into eternity. This aligns with Jesus' promise in <a href="/john/10-28.htm">John 10:28-29</a>, where He assures that no one can snatch His followers out of His hand. The concept of separation is a legal term, often used in the context of divorce or severance, but here it is used to affirm the unbreakable bond between God and His people.<p><b>from the love of God</b><br>This love is agape, the highest form of love, characterized by selflessness and sacrifice. It is the love that God demonstrated through the sending of His Son, as seen in <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>. This love is not based on human merit but is a gift of grace, underscoring the doctrine of salvation by faith alone. The love of God is a central theme throughout Scripture, reflecting His character and His covenantal faithfulness to His people.<p><b>that is in Christ Jesus our Lord</b><br>The phrase locates the love of God specifically in the person and work of Jesus Christ. It is through Christ's atoning sacrifice and resurrection that believers experience God's love. This is consistent with the New Testament teaching that all spiritual blessings are found in Christ (<a href="/ephesians/1-3.htm">Ephesians 1:3</a>). The title "our Lord" emphasizes the authority and divinity of Jesus, affirming His role as the mediator between God and humanity. This connection to Christ assures believers of their secure position in God's love, as it is grounded in the finished work of Jesus.<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.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_romans_8.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Romans 8</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_translations_affect_verse_meanings.htm">What can divide us from Christ's love?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_the_bible_support_eternal_security.htm">Is the doctrine of eternal security supported by the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'goodness_follows_me'_mean.htm">What does "goodness and mercy shall follow me" mean?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_a_new_creation_in_christ.htm">What defines being a new creation in Christ?</a><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.
