DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes that nothing can separate us from the love of
Christ, asserting that despite trials and adversities, we are more than
conquerors through Him who loves us. He illustrates how our difficulties
can transform into opportunities for faith and prayer, ultimately
leading to triumph rather than defeat. Simpson reassures that our
security lies not in our own love but in God's everlasting love, which
remains constant even when everything else changes. He compares God's
love to a mother's strong arms that protect and support, highlighting
the assurance we have in Christ's unwavering presence.

Who shall separate us from-the love of Christ? After all the possible
obstacles and enemies have been mentioned, one by one, the triumphant
answer comes: In all these things we are more than conquerors through
him that loved us (v. 37). Our trials will be turned to helps; our
enemies will be taken prisoners and made to fight our battles. Like the
weights that keep the tall pendulum clock going, so our very
difficulties will prove incentives to faith and prayer and occasions for
God's becoming more real to us. We shall acquire from our troubles not
only deliverance but triumph, and in all these things we shall be even
more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Our security depends not upon our unchanging love but on the love of God
in Christ Jesus toward us.

It is not the clinging arms of the baby that keep it from falling, but
the strong arms of the loving mother. God loves us with an everlasting
love, and although all else may change He will never leave us, never
forsake us.
