N.T. Wright on New Creation Love - Anglican (Romans 8:38-39)

Source: N.T. Wright53 words

"Romans 8 climaxes creation's story: nothing in all creation can separate us because love has already defeated creation's enemies. Death, the last enemy, is conquered. The love holding us is resurrection love—the power of new creation. We are held by the future, secured by what's coming." — N.T. Wright. Anglican: new creation love.
