       Nothing we can do, nothing anyone else can do, nothing that can happen, anything you can think of, in all of that nothing can separate us from the love of God. It is good for us to break down what Paul is saying in these verses by defining what the specific life problems could be. The first thing Paul talks about is tribulation. This word isn’t only talking about the electric going out or our car breaking down. No, this is talking about any type of significant or great problem that we face in life. Next, we see the word distress. I think the idea here is that we have been trapped by a circumstance and are in need of help. Persecution obviously is brought on by unbelievers typically. It is when people come against us for our faith in Christ, our been faithful in following him. People can speak things against us, tell lies about us, or physically come against us in different ways.
