I’m sure at one point in our life we’ve heard the following portion of the Declaration of Independence: …all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
But what does unalienable mean? Unalienable simply means that something is incapable of being transferred, surrendered, or alienated. 
We know the same to be true of the love of God. No matter what your station in life is, it is reassuring that nothing can separate from the love of our father, friend, and savior. Paul is writing to the Romans and breaks out in a ‘flow’ if you will. There is a sing-song quality about the portion of text that I can hear in my head. If I was a rapper, I’d come up with a sick beat and bust it out like it was 1996 again… ficky, ficky, ficky, yeeeeaaahh! Somebody stop me.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we are killed
all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yes in all these things we are 
more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 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 created thing, shall be able to separate us from the 
LOVE of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
No matter what we are going through, God is on our side. Whatever trial we are traversing, God is on our side. Though the fire be hot and the waters deep, God is on our side. Why? Because God’s love is unalienable.
