Frequently Asked Questions
Can I separate myself from God's love through sin?
Sin grieves God and disrupts fellowship, but Romans 8:38-39 includes 'nor any other creature' — and you are a creature. Even your worst failure cannot sever God's love. Discipline may come, consequences may follow, but love never leaves.
What does it mean that God sings over me?
Zephaniah 3:17 says God 'will joy over thee with singing.' Picture the Creator of the universe so delighted in you that He breaks into song. This is not distant, theological love — it is intimate, emotional, joyful affection.
