No, absolutely nothing can separate a believer from God's love in Christ Jesus.
According to Romans 8, neither death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, nor any other creature can separate us from God's love. Les Feldick emphasizes that this love is secure in Christ Jesus and that no power, earthly or heavenly, can remove us from under His blood protection.
Romans 8:38-39 — Directly states that nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:38-39 declares, "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." This passage lists every conceivable category—spiritual beings, time, space, and all of creation—and asserts that none can break the bond of God's love for believers. The verse emphasizes that this love is specifically in Christ Jesus, indicating that our security rests not on our own strength but on God's love through His Son. It is a definitive statement of eternal security.
Les Feldick underscores the absolute security of believers, teaching that every category listed in Romans 8—including Satanic principalities and powers—cannot separate us from God's love. He explains that "principalities and powers" refer to authorities in Satan's realm, which have power and energy to oppose believers, yet they are powerless against God's love. Les also ties this security to the believer's position "under the blood," comparing it to the Israelites' safety in Egypt. He emphasizes that God's love is what drew us into this place of safety, and because we were chosen before creation, nothing can pluck us out. He refutes the idea that a believer can "take himself out," asserting that God's power is supreme.
Les Feldick explains that principalities and powers refer to Satanic authorities. They have authority and energy to oppose believers, as seen in Ephesians 6, but they cannot separate us from Christ's love. Even though they work to frustrate believers and blind the lost, their power is limited compared to God's.
Les teaches that believers are under the blood protection of Christ, similar to the Israelites in Egypt. Just as the blood on the doorposts kept them safe, so the blood of Christ keeps believers secure. No power on earth or in heaven can take us from under that protection.
Les Feldick clarifies that eternal security does not give a believer a license to sin. Because we are secure, we should live in response to God's love, not in rebellion. He says, "that doesn't give us license" to do as we please.
Satanic Authorities Are Powerful
Les explains that principalities and powers are Satanic authorities with real power and authority, working to blind the lost and frustrate believers.
"You're Greater Than God?"
Les refutes the notion that a believer can take themselves out of God's love, saying that would require being greater than God.
Under the Blood Protection
Les teaches that believers are under the blood protection of Christ, and no power can remove us from that safety, just as the Israelites were safe in Egypt.
Satanic Powers Have Energy
Les explains that Satanic principalities and powers are positioned and loaded with energy to oppose believers, but they cannot separate us from Christ's love.
Love of God Drew Us to Safety
Les compares God's love to the grace given to Noah, saying it is God's love that constrained us and pulled us into a place of safety.
Chosen Before Creation
Les teaches that believers are secure because they were God's before creation, so nothing can separate them from His love, and this does not grant license to sin.
Why Paul Is THE Apostle to the Gentiles — Romans 1 Explained
Now with God, it took all the power at His disposal to bring us out of Satan's slave market. And I'm going to be stressing that as we come through these chapters of Romans, that the power of God, the very same power that put everything out there in that universe, was concentrated on every one of us the moment we believed.

But an outside power, my pocket knife, set him free. Now it's the same way in the spiritual realm. The lost person, even though he doesn't realize it, is totally bound up in Satan's web. And nobody can cut that web but the power of God himself. And this is what we have to see. Now you've got 2 Corinthians chapter 5, 2 Corinthians chapter 5.
Romans 8:38-39: 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.
This is the key passage that directly answers the question, listing every possible separating force and declaring them impotent.
Romans 8:37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Precedes the list to show that believers are more than conquerors because of God's love.
2 Corinthians 4:4: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Les references this to show how Satan blinds the lost, but this blindness does not affect believers.
No. Romans 8:38-39 explicitly states that neither death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, nor any other creature can separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus.
Les Feldick teaches that principalities and powers refer to Satanic authorities, not godly angels. They have power and energy, but they cannot overcome God's love.
No. Les Feldick clarifies that this security does not give license to sin. Believers are called to live in response to God's love, not in rebellion.
