Rom 8: 38-39 – 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come v39 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.
The Everlasting Love of God under the New Covenant is a profound and unshakable expression of God’s grace, mercy, and commitment to His people through Jesus Christ. It reveals a love that is not based on human performance but anchored in God’s eternal character, and His redemptive plan through the finished work of Christ.
It Is a Covenant-Based, Not Performance-Based Love: Under the Old Covenant, blessings and favor were often conditional on obedience. But the New Covenant is rooted in grace: God commits to loving His people eternally based on Christ’s obedience, not ours. His love is not withdrawn when we fail, because it’s based on His faithfulness, not ours.
It Is Demonstrated Fully in Christ: The cross of Jesus is the ultimate proof of God’s everlasting love. Christ didn’t wait for us to change. He loved us at our worst, paid our debt in full, and secured a relationship with the Father that will never be broken.
It Is Secure and Unfailing: This verse finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Covenant. God’s love is everlasting. it has no end, and unfailing: meaning it doesn’t diminish over time or with our mistakes. It is as strong and fresh today as it was when He first loved us.
It Is Unbreakable and Inseparable: Under the New Covenant, believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) and united with Christ. No sin, suffering, demon, or failure can separate you from God’s love, not even death.
It Transforms the Heart, Not Just the Behaviour: The everlasting love of God doesn’t just pardon us. it changes us from the inside out. Love under the New Covenant is transformational, not transactional. It doesn’t just tell you what to do. it gives you the power and desire to do it, because you are loved.
It Is a Love That Dwells Within: This love is not only shown to us but also lives in us. Through the Holy Spirit, God’s everlasting love becomes a present reality, not just a theological truth. It shapes how we see ourselves, relate to others, and walk in daily life.
It Calls for a Loving Response: God’s everlasting love is not only to be received—it is to be reflected. Under the New Covenant, we are empowered to love God and others not out of duty, but out of the overflow of being deeply and eternally loved.
One of the greatest truths in Scripture is the fact that God loved you so much that He sent His only Son to earth to provide a way for you to have a relationship with Him. There is nothing that you can do to earn God’s love, because He gives it freely.
The God of the universe loves you and cares for you. That can almost seem too good to be true.
It is common for people to fear losing their salvation through disobedience or failing to follow God perfectly. But Scripture is clear that God’s grace and forgiveness is a free gift. Because there is nothing you did to earn it, there is nothing that can take it away from you.
The apostle Paul is very clear in the book of Romans, there is nothing that can separate you from the love of God. Death cannot separate you, because Jesus defeated death on the cross. Supernatural powers cannot separate you from God’s love, because Jesus is victorious over them.
There is nothing that can separate you from God’s love. Scripture is clear that Jesus’ death paid for all of your wrongdoing: past, present, and future. Not even your own mistakes could keep God from loving and forgiving you.
So take some time to consider how much God loves you. Let this truth soak in; nothing can separate you from the love of God. Rest in the assurance that God’s love will never leave you throughout your life.
The Everlasting Love of God under the New Covenant is:
Unconditional because of Christ’s righteousness
Eternal because of God’s nature
Transformational through the Holy Spirit
Unbreakable despite our weaknesses
Intimate, personal, and fully sufficient
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning…”
— Lamentations 3:22–23. Amen.
