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
Romans
8 is without a doubt one of the most powerful chapters in all of the
Bible. If you haven't read it lately, I would recommend you taking the time to read it today.
Wow!
It is full of promises!
Do
you ever feel like everything is going against you? Do you feel like
everyone else is getting all of the good breaks, and you are somehow
getting shortchanged?
To
be honest, I feel like that sometimes myself. So, Romans 8 is just
perfect for me and perfect for you too!
Romans
8
35 Can
anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no
longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or
hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
36 (As
the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are
being slaughtered like sheep.”)
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
God
is for me. He is on my side.
Jeremiah
29:11
11 For
I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord.
“They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future
and a hope.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, no matter what happens in my life I know that you are going
to work it out for my best interests. You have my back. You are
taking care of me. You are my Heavenly Father and I know that You are
a good, good, Father.
I
pray for anyone who may read this blog today that is going through a
rough time. Help them trust in You. Use the difficult time that they
are going through to bring them closer to You. Show them that they
can trust totally in You.
Romans
8:28
28 And
we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of
those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
