If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. Psalm 139:8
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:35
The more I hear Paul's Question, Who can separate us, the more my spirit is stirred within me.
Because there is an answer to that question. I don't know if Paul meant it to be rhetorical, but there is an answer.
