Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Tim 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Is comforting to know that nothing in life nor death can separate me from the love of God. I can't screw up bad enough for God to unadopt me. I can get chastised, but not unadopted.

And the reseaon is that "HE is able to keep that". Not me, it doesn't depend on me. It depends on God. The promise was claimed, and God will keep it.
