"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 8:38-39.
In the time of the outbreak of the corona-virus, we need something stable to rely on. That something is the love of God. Nothing can separate us from it. A lot of things can threaten you. The world is full of bad news. You need to hear good news in the midst of the turmoil that is there. What is the good news? God loves you. He loves you very much. He gave himself, to be humiliated, beaten, spat on, to get you closer to the kingdom of heaven, where love, joy, peace, and righteousness live. In the middle of this mess the world is in, you should contemplate about God's love. He will always love you. Never forget about that. He will never forget you. He is always close to you. He always loves you. Praise God.

No condemnation in Christ Jesus
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" Romans 8:1.
If you repented of your sins and received Jesus into your life, there is no condemnation for you. God does not condemn you. All of your sins are forgiven. All of them. There is absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty about your past. A lot of people feel guilty about the stuff they have done in their lives, the sins they have committed and they still feel bound by their past. You should not be bound. Your past should not control neither your present, nor your future. There is no longer condemnation for you. It has been removed. The past sins are gone. They are washed away. As far as the east is from the west. God does not condemn you anymore. You are in Christ. You are freed. Praise God for the freedom and justification by faith. You are no longer a slave to sin. You belong to Him. You can come to Him every day as a child comes to a father and experience his love. He does not push you away. He accepted you in Christ. Praise be to God.

God is for you who can be against you
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31.
We Christians often have a wrong image of God. Due to sin, weakness, addictions we often feel unworthy of God's love and sometimes may even start thinking that God is against us. That is absolutely wrong. If you gave your life to Christ, God is for you. Only you and Satan can be against you. He forgave your sins and forgot them. You might still remember them, but He doesn't. Jesus took all of the wrath for your and my sins upon himself. Praise God. Next time, when Satan reminds you of your sins, tell him that God does not remember them. You might also remind him (Satan) of his future. God is not against you, He is for you. But He is against Satan. The fella is your real enemy. Do not listen to his voice. Read the word of God daily, soak in His love and always remember that He is on your side. Amen.

Peace of God
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:1.
Justification through faith brings about a lot of changes into our lives. One of them, we get peace with God. People live in fear, anxiety, worry, and similar emotional states daily. But we don't have to. We can have peace of God in our minds and souls. If you are right with God, there is nothing that separates you from Him and His love. All of your sins have been blotted out, washed away and you can boldly come to the throne of God, and ask Him anything you want. He is your father now. He is not angry with you. Jesus took any anger He had due to sin upon Himself and brought it to the cross. The judgement of God was poured out there. On Him. You have nothing to be afraid of, but can live in God's peace. You are not an enemy of God, but His son/daughter. Embrace it. Believe it. Thank God for it. Think about it. Let it sink in deep into your soul. He is for you, not against you. The world can be full of stress, you have God on your side, you have nothing to fear. Pray for His peace to descend upon you and enjoy it when it comes. Meditate on justification that you got in Christ Jesus. Nothing can take you out of His hands now. You are His and He is yours. It is a love relationship. Develop it. Stay in God's peace. Peace be with you.

We are justified by faith
"For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law" Romans 3:28.
All religions of the world try to get a man justified before God, or before a man himself. The vast majority of them will take a path of good works. Christianity is different. You can only be justified in the eyes of God by believing Jesus Christ and his atonement. Good works will follow your justification, but won't precede it. The key good job was done by Jesus on the cross. And that, and that one only can get you right before God. You have to believe it, and when you do, God grants you his righteousness for free. No good works can do that. God won't accept them as a means of you to get right before Him. Just believe what Jesus did, and that will give you a free gift of righteousness and make a peace between you and God. Your sins are forgiven if you believe in Jesus as your Savior. Blessed be His holy name. Amen. Praise Him for the gift. It is free of charge.

How do you please God
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" Hebrews 11:6.
There is only way to please God and that is to believe what He says. You can do good works, for sure, but they don't get you closer to God, nor do they justify you in His eyes. You can get God's righteousness only by believing. Good works are the result. So, if you want God to like you, trust His word. He is good for you, has excellent plan for your life. Yet, He expects you to believe Him. He admires your faith. Keep on developing and strengthening it, and you will sew God's wonders happening in your life.

Forget former things
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing!" Isaiah 43:18-19.
Past should not dictate your present or future. Yesterday is over, today is now. You live now. God is the God of the present. He is now. You dwell on the past only to get strength for today or gratitude for your God. Otherwise, do not get stuck there. What is over, over. God is always "I am who I am". Generations come and go, but our God is always now.
Live in the eternal now. Your sins are forgiven now. God loves you now. You can do something good now. God is doing new things. Join in them. Cooperate with Him. He wants you to. Your past should not control your present. Live with God today. It takes courage as we sin a lot and need forgiveness every day, but His grace is new every day, so do not let anything to hold you back. Dare to move forward trusting in your God. God bless you now and forever.
