If God Is For Me . . .

The end of Romans 8 is really powerful, at least for believers.

“If God is for me who can possibly be against me?”

The cross, more than anything else says that God is for us.
The cross, more than anything else says that God loves us.

And as verse 32 says, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, is there anything else that He wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?”

Nothing, absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of our Creator.

The victory is won.

“So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

“They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.

None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.” Romans 8:31-39
