What Cancer Cannot Do - Love Worth Finding - February 21

February 21, 2025 – What Cancer Cannot Do
Romans 8:37-39
Sermon: 2075 Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People?, Part 2

Pray Over This

“Yet 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 8:37-39

Ponder This

Today’s passage is a reminder that nothing can separate us from God. Paul did not say hardship would not happen. Rather it is in these things, not in the absence of these things, that we’re “more than conquerors.” You will have struggles, but you do not need to lose hope if you are in Christ.

Take cancer for example. Many people will have cancer before they die. This disease is terrible on the human body, but I want to tell you some things that cancer cannot do. Cancer cannot cripple love. Cancer cannot shatter hope. Cancer cannot corrode faith. Cancer cannot eat away peace. Cancer cannot destroy confidence. Cancer cannot kill friendship. Cancer cannot shut out memories. Cancer cannot silence courage. Cancer cannot evade the soul. Cancer cannot reduce eternal life. Cancer cannot quench the Spirit of God. And cancer cannot lessen the power of the resurrection. That’s how limited cancer is. Whether you are going through a terminal diagnosis, a hard season at work, or anything else, nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

• What are some things that feel like they can separate you from God’s love? How can we remind ourselves that this isn’t true?
• What changes when we remember that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ?

Practice This

Show God’s love to someone who is going through a hard time and may be feeling alone.
