Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love

Romans 8:38-39

Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Letter to the Romans, which is a letter written to early Christians.

These are train cars. They are so cool! Do you want me to show you the coolest part?


They can go together . . . 


. . . or they can separate! Do you know that word? Separate?


Look . . .  I put them together.


I separate them.


I put them together.


I separate them.


Together.


Separated.


Our Bible story today is about how NOTHING can separate YOU from God’s love. It’s true! 


God loves you when you feel sad, grumpy, or mad. Show me your sad face.


Yep, God still loves you, even with a sad face or a mad face or a grumpy face!


God loves you when you’re silly. Show me your silly face.


God loves you, even when you’re silly. God loves you when you’re at your grandma’s house or the doctor. He loves you when you play on the playground or eat a snack. Do you think God loves you when you’re sleeping? Of course He does!


Do you think God loves you when you’re in timeout? Yes, even in timeout. God loves you forever and always, no matter what. You can trust God because NOTHING can separate YOU from God’s love.







Bible Paraphrase: Trust in the LORD with all your heart. —Proverbs 3:5, NIVI

Text Truth: I can trust God.



Family Devotional

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
—Romans 8:38-39

Our Bible story was about how nothing will ever separate us from God’s love. God loves us THAT much! And that’s why we can trust God with all our heart, just like the verse we are learning.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart. —Proverbs 3:5, NIVI

With your family, write down all of the names of your family members. Have each family member write their name. As they do so, ask them to say, "God loves me."

Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. In your own words, say, “Dear God, thank You for Your amazing love. Your love is bigger than anything we will ever do and any place we will ever go. Nothing will ever separate us from Your love! Thank You for loving (name each family member). I pray we will always trust You and believe in how much You love us. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

The Early Christians Shared Everything

Image
Acts 4:32-37 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. Our Bible story tells us about some people who loved Jesus. The people were gathered together in a room. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The room filled with talking and laughter. The people called themselves Christians because they did what Jesus Christ said to do (Christian means "follower of Christ"). The Christians knew that Jesus was God’s Son. They wanted others to know about Jesus, too. Grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads, and children met together in homes. They would pray, sing, and learn about Jesus together. All these people loved Jesus. They were like one big, happy family. Because they loved Jesus, the Christians happily shared what they had more than others. Everything a person had was happily shared with the rest of the Bible-time Christians. They shared food so every...

Abraham and His Family Moved to a New Land

Genesis 12:1-9 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." A man and woman lived in a land called Ur. The man was named Abram and the woman was named Sarai. Abram and Sarai were husband and wife. God called Abram and Sarai and gave them new names! Abram means “nobel father.” But God changed his name to “Abraham,” which means “father of many.” Sarai” means “princess.” But God changed her name to “Sarah,” which means “mother of nations.” Now they were Abraham and Sarah, "father of many" and "mother of nations!" Abraham grew up in the land called Ur. When he was grown, Abraham moved with his family to a new land called Haran. But then, in the land of Haran, God appeared to Abraham and told him to leave his country. God told Abraham to move to a new land. God promised to be with Abraham and show him where to go. God also promised to give Abraham children, grandchildren, and many g...

Jacob and Esau

Image
Genesis 27:41a; 32:9-21; 33:3-11 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us about two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Jacob and Esau were twin brothers. They were the sons of Isaac and the grandsons of Abraham. Jacob and Esau were born at the same time and were the same age. But Esau was a couple of minutes older than Jacob. Because Esau was the oldest son, he would someday receive a special blessing from their father. That was very important. One day, Jacob tricked his father Isaac into giving Jacob the important blessing instead of Esau. Esau was very mad. Esau was so angry that Jacob became afraid. Jacob decided to move away from Esau. So he packed up his things and traveled to another land. Even though God didn’t like what Jacob had done to Esau, God still blessed Jacob. God gave Jacob a large family and many animals. After many years, God told Jacob it was time to g...
