“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:31-39 NIV

• How do we know God is for us? Jesus

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth…For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” John 1:14, 17 NIV

 

• How do we receive grace and truth? Faith and humility

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5 ESV

How to Remember He is for Me:

G: Grasp that God has no equal (Vs. 31)

R: Rely on His provision (Vs.32)

A: Agree with His verdict (Vs. 33)

C: Count on the finished work of Jesus (Vs. 34)

E: Encourage yourself in His love (Vs. 35-39)

 

Because of Jesus I Can Trust That:

• God is for me, not opposing me
• God is for me, not accusing me
• God is for me, not condemning me
• God is for me, and always with me
