Charles Ellicott Commentary Romans 8:39

"nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." — Romans 8:39 (ASV)

Nor height, nor depth.—No remoteness in space. (Compare to Psalm 139:8 and following: If I ascend up into heaven, etc.)

Any other creature.—Any other created thing.

The love of God.—It is to be observed that for the shorter phrase, “the love of Christ,” the Apostle now substitutes the fuller but, as it would seem, equivalent phrase, “the love of God in Christ.”
