 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; 

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Psalm 36:5

while we were still sinners.Romans 5:8(NLT)

Permanent.....Lasting or remaining without essential change

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. 

Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,

neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—

not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
No power in the sky above or in the earth below—
indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate
us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39 (NLT)

that He gave his one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
will not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16
