“For I am persuaded that not even death or life, angels or rulers, things present or things to come, hostile powers, height or depth, or any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!” Romans 8:38-39 HCSB

”And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:38-39 NLT

https://www.bible.com/116/rom.8.38-39.nlt

I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.”

Romans 8:38-39 MSG

•  death or life

I love how the message lays out life or death. It says that nothing Loving or dead can separate us from the Love of God. No person on earth can keep you from experiencing the love of God if they are still here or not. The Love of God is not limited to anyone no matter what we have been told by parents, pastors, teachers, enemies or friends. God’s love is open to everyone. 

•  Angles or rulers

The NLT says angels nor demons

The MSG says angelic or demonic

There is nothing an angle or a demon can do to separate from the love of God. I think it should go without saying that an angel would not what you to be separated from God’s love and the demons would love for you to be. But they cannot do anything to separate you from God’s love.

“I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from Him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to change the good news about the Messiah. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!”

Galatians 1:6-8 HCSB

https://www.bible.com/72/gal.1.6-8.hcsb

Paul was convinced that nothing could preach a different gospel other than the one He preached that even if an angel from heaven came to preach one to not believe him.

•  things present or things to come

NLT neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow

MSG today or tomorrow

There is nothing you are facing today or things you are anxious about tomorrow that can separate you from the love of God. He is with you now at the moment and will be with you forever. He never leaves you, in good times and bad. if your walking in the spirit or in the flesh God is with you.

•  hostile powers

NLT not even the powers of hell

The devil can do nothing to separate you from God’s love. He already tried that by killing Jesus on the cross. He thought he was winning but in reality, he had lost. It may have been better for Satan to keep Jesus alive. If he could have accomplished this Jesus would never have shed His blood to wash our sins away.  But the plan of God to show the love of God would happen no matter what. And God used Satan to accomplish it by allowing Jesus to die and come back to life, God gained all the people who would accept Jesus into His family once again. 

•  height or depth

NLT No power in the sky above or in the earth below

MSG high or low

People have thought that if they hide in darkness, either in a dark room or a dark cave, they can hide from God. God sees all and knows all. The darkest room you find yourself in is still light to Him. No matter where you find yourself God is still there.

•  any other created thing

NLT nothing in all creation

MSG thinkable or unthinkable

This is Paul’s way to include everyone else. Because nothing can separate from the old of God. Because God is love and we can not escape His presence we cannot escape His love.
