Can anything separate us from spending eternity with God?
No. The blessed assurance is that regardless of what may happen, nothing can separate us from spending eternity with our Creator God. Even when led like sheep to the slaughter, we are more than conquerors through the One who loved us, not by the energy of the flesh.
Les teaches that this book looks at everything in the light of eternity, so the believer can take the blessed assurance that regardless of what may happen, nothing can separate us from spending eternity with our Creator God. He connects this to being led like sheep to the slaughter, yet being more than conquerors through the One who loved us. Les stresses that we cannot do this in the energy of the flesh; in ourselves we are nothing. He also points out that Paul says he was persuaded—totally convinced—and contrasts that with old King Agrippa in Acts, who said, “Almost Paul, you’ve persuaded me,” but apparently never truly believed.
