If God
Is For Us,
Who Can Ever Be Against Us?


Scripture

Romans 8

 31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? 

If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
 
32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own?
No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.
 
34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

Observation

Need encouragement this morning? Read Romans chapter 8! And if after you read it you still need encouragement read it again and again until what God is saying sinks in!

I don’t know of a more powerful chapter in all of God’s Word.

It is the passage for our lesson this morning in our 9 am Bible study.

Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection are proof of just how much our Heavenly Father loves us.

Nothing can separate us from His love and from His care. He is our Heavenly Father and we are His children, joint heirs with Jesus Christ!

Romans 8

38 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. 39 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.


Application

I am convinced that nothing can separate me from God’s love. How about you?


Prayer

Heavenly Father, I don’t deserve it but I know that it is true that I have been blood bought with the blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is pleading for me right now on my behalf. I am Your child and one day I will enjoy everything that You have prepared for me and that You have prepared for all of us who call You our Heavenly Father. It is a privilege that none of us deserve, but it is also something that no one can take away from us. We are Yours forever!
