Song “Nothing separates us from the Love of God”

  1. nothing separates us from god: what do you think in current Turkey and Syria earthquake, people got separated but they still have hope.

Well, I have to divide your question in two parts: Why are there currently earthquakes in Turkey and Syria and war in Syria and Ukrania and why have we got seperated from the Love of God.

The answer to the first question is: We can read about the earthquake and war the internet, in the newspaper, but in the bible, too. You may ask yourself: What? But this part of the Bible you talk about was written 2000 years ago. Yes, but Jesus said to his friends, when they asked him about the signs of his coming:

And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

So one reason why these horrible things happen is, that God will warn us. We are not seperated from his love, but a God that loves wants to take care of us and gives us a warning, that we have to come to him and not get in dangour to loose our souls.

There was a very good song in an ancient himnary book, that I love. They cut it out of the book and in the modern version it is not there, because people today don t want to hear, that there is a condemnation for those who refuse Christ. Its titel is: Awake thou careles world awake and the text encourages us to hurry and believe in the Gospel, because one day it can be too late.

So we have to hear Gods voice and not harden our heart. The bible says, that everyone will be called at least three times in his live to come to God. Let us not reject his tender voice, when he calls us.

God made Adam and Eve with a own will to obey or disobey and they decided to disobey.

The test was a tree with a fruit that they must not eat. The consequence of eating the fruit would be that they have to die. God said it clearly to them.

But God had an enemy who wanted to destroy the human being and he told them a lie:

The promise from the devil was: You will be like God and they wanted to be like God.

The devil even did not force them to eat the fruit. They wanted to be like God and have eaten the fruit by their own will.

But at the end they saw that they were fooled and did not became as God and that their relationship with God was broken.

But here God showed his love by giving them a rescue plan: He promised to send one day the Messiah who will die for them on the cross.

This is Gods love in action and nobody will seperate us from this love. God loves me so much, that he doesn t want me to die and go to hell, his will is, that all people come to repentance and live forever.

  1. pls pick up a paragraph words to tell listners. when we must face separates sistuation, like parents lost kids, like people lost jobs, they are both separated under reality. what will they do?

After Adam and Eve had eaten from the forbidden fruit, all human beings were born with sin. There was something in them, which forced them to sin, they could not deliver themself from sin, it was in their heart and even many did not want to sin and do the good, they could not avoid it. And so they were threwn out of the beautiful garden Eden and had to live in a world which has work, sweat, thorns and a lot of sad situations for them.

The first parents who lost a child named Abel were Adam and Eve. And it was a very hard situation, because he was killed by his jealeous brother Kain.

The first person who lost his job was Kain as a consequence of his murder. His work will never try fruit again, that was his condemnation he got.

How could Adam and Eve handle this sad situation without breaking down completely ? Their third child Seth was born and in these days they began to claim the name of the Lord.

When we suffer so much, that it is nearly impossible to stand, let us go to Jesus. He is the man of sorrows and suffering. He was completely God and completely human being. He lived like us, suffered of heat and thirst and hunger like us, they tortured him, they put a crown of thorns on his head and they crucified him. He was hanging six hours on the cross, his face disfigurated that he even seamed to be a human being. He was abandonded of his father and the Holy Spirit in Heaven , because a holy God could not have fellowship with him when he bearried the sin of the world.

So when we are in sorrow, Jesus knows how we feel and only he can give us the strength to go on with our lifes and take away the pain.

Jesus is Gods love in person.

3.even though we don’t deserve what god gave us? what do you think about god still gives us his grace?

This is the great difference between the religions and the philosofies and the Christian faith:

Religion tells you, you have to do something, you have to be a good person and than you have the right to receive something positive. And there are good, better and bad and worse persons, in religion are different levels.

The bible tells us, that we are all on the same level. We are all sinners. Does not matter if I only had a bad thought or if I was a murderer. God puts all mankind on one level: There are all sinners and nobody can stand i front of the holiness of God. One preacher preached once: The only reason why you did not commit a murder is, that you are not brave enough or you did not had the opportunity.

There we are all on one level and all our good works are only a drop on a hot stone, but Jesus comes and says: I let you all go free, just receive my love and my work that I have done for you on Calvary.

So we deserve nothing by doing something, but we get everything by Gods love only by repenting our sins and accept that Jesus died for them.

4.Could you pls tell me this song’s production process?

I don t remember it. As I mentioned in the last show, I like to recitate and meditate verses of the bible in my songs, because no lyrics can be better than the sweet word of God.

5.Ingrid sister, pls tell me a real small story related to this song? what is the separated thing you met in your life? How did you slove it in the end?

I had once a crisis in my life and I stopped to pray, to read the bible and to go to church. I did not have christian friends anymore and I did not live according to the scripture anymore. But than I was in my flat and in one moment like a flash I knew, I had to go to a church. So I went to the Assambly of God in Valparaiso and the preaching was for me, that the lost daughter comes back to the house.

When I came home, I wrote the song ”The prodigal”.

Short time later I met a friend to share bible teachings and about a year after I met my husband, who is a fine christian, too and we enjoy to share our faith and the word of God together.

So I saw, that I can leave God, but he does not leave me, he waits for me to come back. And when I come, he stands there with open arms and a love, that we human beings never can imagine.
