2.The only one who can separate us from the love of God is ourselves, no one can take us from Him. If we truly love Him with all our hearts and all our souls and all our minds we will in no way want to be separated from Him. God knows our hearts and the conditions of our lives and knows if our hearts true desire is to leave Him.
3.There is often a battle as to whether the Roman’s, the Jews or ourselves were responsible for Jesus death. While it is true that Jesus would not have had to die, had their not been sin in the world, however, Jesus did not have to die for us.
