Romans 8 opens with "No Condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Rom 8:1) and closes with "No Separation- from the love of Christ" (v35). These summarize the new paradigm for Christian living. The Apostle Paul, lists all the elements of creation, in heaven or on earth, declaring that none of them "can separate us from the love of God, which is [manifested] in Christ Jesus" (v38-39). Whether "death or life, heavenly principalities, things present or things to come, height or depth or any other created thing" — none of these can threaten our security or "separate us from the love of God," which is manifested to us in Christ Jesus.

In the light of God's love, seen by "No Condemnation" and "No Separation" for believers, for to teach that our devotion, consecration, and religious service is required for God's blessing is to reverse God's order for us living in the grace dispensation. This false preaching is of "the Law" that "is not of faith" (Gal 3:12).

"The Law" makes God's blessing upon man contingent upon man's devotion and faithfulness. But actually, God's grace and love is conferred upon us as Undeserving, as an Unconditional Blessing.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom 5:8)

Even as believers, we must still learn to open our mind and heart to receive the Lord's love in its full measure. Sadly, so many Christians limp through their lives starved for real love because they've not yet learned the art of receiving God's continuing love... by faith. We were initially "saved by grace through faith" and we still walk "by grace through faith." This is a learned discipline, training our minds to trust the Lord, even in the midst of life's trials.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

One of the Evil One's favorite deceptions is to undermine our confidence in The Lord's faithfulness and in His unconditional love. God continues to work in the heart of every believer - it is God's continuing work. "For It Is God Which Worketh In You both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13) Don't permit the Devil to lie to you through any person, including well meaning Pastors or teachers, ignorant of the truth.

The words "in you" (above) raises an important aspect of what occurred the moment we were saved. We were saved when "the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" literally came into our human spirit and we were regenerated, reborn. I sometimes use the imperfect metaphor of tea in water to demonstrate the union by which the believer and Christ are made "one spirit." - "But he that is joined unto the Lord is One Spirit. (1 Cor 6:17). Whereas there was two spirits before our regeneration  - Christ's eternal "Spirit of Life" and our "human spirit" (cf., Jn 3:6, 1Cor 6:17) they became "one spirit" when Christ came to dwell within their spirit in an eternal union of spirit. Once the tea and water become mingled together as "one" they can't be separated.

^9b ...the Spirit of God Dwell IN YOU. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. ¹⁰ if CHRIST BE IN YOU, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (Rom 8:9-10)

Our salvation is not only a judicial matter of having our record of sins being washed clean through Christ shed blood. The point of our salvation is that Christ would come to dwell within us as our new life. So can we say Jesus came into us, but He will leave us if we fail to live righteously? This is a ridiculous. He "will never leave the or forsake thee" (Heb 13:5). Our devotion to Him may follow our receiving God's love, but it usually doesn't occur right away in proper measure, or as quickly as we might expect. It is God who gave us His grace and it is He who is faithful toward us, working in us.

1 Cor. 1:9 GOD IS FAITHFUL, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

1Cor. 2:12 Now we have received…the spirit which is of God; (so) that we might know the things that Are Freely (graciously) Given To Us of God.

Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is NOT Justified by the Works of the Law, but by the Faith of (ek, from) Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, (so) that we might be Justified By The Faith of Christ, and  NOT by the Works of the Law: for by the works of the law shall No flesh be justified.

The love that brought Christ down from heaven to die in shame and disgrace for our sins is not affected by our failures now as Christians. The Lord has ascended to heaven “now to appear in the presence of God for us” (Heb. 9:24). He is in us and yet He also is “at the right hand of God” to “make intercession for us” (Rom. 8:34). He is able to save us “to the uttermost” because “He ever lives to make intercession for us.” (Heb. 7:25 ).

Our failures now, after having trusted Christ as Savior, may and should trouble our consciences, but this does not change the fact that we are God’s regenerated children through faith in Christ, who died for ALL our sins - past, present and future sins. Though we may be unworthy, God would have us turn our heart to Him to be spiritually refreshed. Whenever "the veil" of self-serving sin and failure seems to comes between us and the Lord, we can simply turn our heart back to Him and have that "veil... taken away"; "Nevertheless when it (the heart) shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. (2Cor 3:16).

We can be confident. "... If God be for us, who can be against us? ³² He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all...³³ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. ³⁴ ... It is Christ ... at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (Rom 8:31-35).
