Because of the Gospel, THEREFORE, I'm sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*As Christians we always have to be reminded that no one can be against us if God is for us. - Which means, no one can bring charges or condemn us, or can put our soul into condemnation because of the Gospel. *As Jesus was raised from the dead, He will also raise us up on the last day. Yes, we will experience suffering for His Name's sake, (tribulation, hunger, etc., even physical death) but neither let your heart be troubled, nor complain as what the Israelite did, but rather stand firm and do not move from the Hope we have in the Gospel; That if our God was able to gave Himself for us, and was able to save our souls from eternal condemnation, therefore out of His abounding grace, He will also be with us in trouble, give us strength, wisdom and all things according to His Will.
*As God's chosen people, bear in mind that we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, Who loved us and gave Himself for us. He conquered death and He will also raise us up on the last day as He promised. Therefore, do not be discouraged, our Hope in the Gospel will never be in vain.
