I The Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, N.C., Thursday, October 28, 1976-Page 3 Sunday School Lesson 11 Gohogji-Harrell Exchange Vows ,-" SECURE IN GOD'S LOVE ' -' ' Romans 8:28-39 ' : ' To know that God is still in control and that He is working all things together for good to them that love Him is certain ly encouraging, and also a great strength to our faith as Christians. God can turn all of life's experiences into a means of blessing to all who love Him. Note, however, that Paul did not say all things are good or that every experience of life is good. But he did say that all things work together for the ultimate good of those who love God. God is causing all things to work together, to carry out His plan for our everlasting good and His glory. This is not a proposition which needs to be proved, but an absolute certainty which needs to be accepted. It is a glorious certainty that all things fair and four, smooth and rough, prosperous and adverse, joyous and painful are working for the welfare of those who truly love God. God said it is true, others have testified that it is a fact; and we have experienced it. What a comfort! . Amid the disappointments, perplexities, and pains of life, let us trust in the unfailing wisdom, goodness, and power of God. Life yields its greatest joys and satisfactions only when we surrender ourselves to the will and ways of God. In proving the security of God's children, Paul set forth the great and blessed truth that God predestinated, called, justified, and glorified those whom He foreknew, . To those of us who know God's love, there is no question about God being for us; it is a conviction. Through His in finite grace, we are the children of God, and we are safe in Him. Satan is relentless in his opposition to us, but since God is for Us, we do not have anything to fear. God was willing to send forth His Son into the world, even though He knew that He would meet with misunderstanding and misrepresentation, would be malingned, insulted, re jected, abused, and slain. The greatest sacrifice ever made took place when God "spared not his own Son' but delivered him up-for us all." Christ was not spared anything that could have made His suffering terrible. "Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?" The answer is "no one," and the reason for this reply is that God has justified us. When God has acquitted a sinner of his guilt and restored him to the divine favor, nobody, not even Satan, can bring against him any charge that will produce a verdict of condemnation. "There is therefore now no con demnation to them that are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). Every Christian should rejoice in this glorious fact. "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" "No one" Is the answer to this question. The seven things men tioned in verse 35, plus all other possibilities, are absolutely : unable to separate a Christian from Christ's love for him. What a challenging claim Paul'makes for himself and all true followers of Christ in these words: "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." No man was ever more sorely maligned, persecuted, and abused than Paul, but in every conflict he came out vic torious. The way to victory for every Christian is through faith in and dependence upon the triumphant and reigning Christ. Our victories are gifts from God. Satan and his cohorts are numerous, crafty, ruthless, and powerful, but they can be overcome through Christ. Let us ever remember that the victorious Christ is the source of our strength and the secret of our victory. The victorious life is Christ-centered and Christ-mastered. Paul taught us an in valuable lesson in his statement: "I can do all things through Christ which strengthened, (keeps on pouring his power into), me" (Philippians 4:13). No matter how difficult the circumstances of life may be, the love of God, which is in Christ our Lord, will never let us go. "God is love" regardless of the circumstances in which we may find ourselves. He is all that we need. He provides everything which the believer in Christ needs here or hereafter.
