Nothing at All

From a letter written by the apostle Paul
to believers in Rome:


Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.-Romans 8:35-39***The apostle Paul (Saul) was an Israelite descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac  and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son BenjaminPaul was a specifically educated and zealous Pharisee who persecuted Israelites he found who believed Jesus, who had been crucified, to be the Christ, the Son of GodWhen Paul was journeying to the synagogues in Damascus, Syria, to find more Israelite believers, Paul and those with him saw a light from heaven flash around them. Paul heard the voice of Jesus speaking to him, and Paul spoke to Jesus and obeyed Jesus. In Damascus Paul was baptized. Many Israelite believers did not want Paul in their midst, and several different groups of Israelites wanted to kill Paul. Barnabas and Paul were kicked out of Antioch in Pisidia. Paul was pelted with stones, dragged and thought to be dead in Lystra,  Lycaonia. Paul and Silas (Silvanus) were whipped and imprisoned in Philippi. During Paul's last visit in Jerusalem, Paul was grabbed out of the temple of the Lord and about to be killed before he was rescued, sent away and imprisoned. Paul was shipwrecked on Malta (Melita). Paul mentioned some of these incidents and other perils in a divinely inspired letter written, with Timothy (Timotheus), to believers in Corinth and its surrounding regions. In a letter written and sent by Paul to believers in Rome, Paul revealed other information regarding perils.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:34-44, Psalm 44, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Romans, 2 Corinthians, 2 Timothy 3:1-17

Reference Scripture: 
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.-Psalm 44:22
