How do we know that nothing can separate us from God's love?

In Romans 8:38-39, Paul declares a profound truth: nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. This includes all forms of suffering and challenges we may face in life. Understanding our union with Christ provides a deep assurance; it is not conditional on our faithfulness but on God’s unchanging character. Believers can find comfort in knowing that their relationship with Christ is secure and eternal, regardless of circumstances or personal failings. This doctrine of perseverance reinforces the assurance that God's love remains steadfast.
