The closest relation on earth\u2013the marriage bond\u2013has an end. Marriage is only \u201cuntil death us do part.\u201d But the relation between Christ and the sinner who trusts in him, never ends. It lives when the body dies. It lives when flesh and heart fail. Once begun, it never withers. It is only made brighter and stronger by the grave. \u201cI am persuaded,\u201d says Paul, \u201cthat neither life, nor death, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature\u2013shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!\u201d (Romans 8:38,39).<\/p>\n
