… 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's God who justifies. Who is he that condemns Christ Jesus who died? More than that, has raised the life and is at the right hand of God. Right now, he's 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's written, for your sake we face death all day long. We're considered like sheep to be slaughtered. He says, no, in all these things we're more than conquerors through him who loved us. We're convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, nor the present nor the future, nor any powers, nor heights nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. …
Those he called, he also justified. And those he justified, he also glorified. What then shall we say in response to this? 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? Christ Jesus, who died, more than that, has raised to life, is at the right hand of God, interceding for us right now. 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's 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 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 ever be able to separate us from the love of God that's in Christ Jesus our Lord. …
He gives us a historical moment. Romans 8.32, he who did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? God does not ultimately, don't miss this, does not ultimately prove his love for you by making every circumstance understandable or palatable. The way he proves his love when you don't know, oh, this guy really loves me, says, remember what I did on the cross. He proves his love for you at Calvary. God loves me that the sovereign, eternal, providential, wise, good, loving God has freely set his saving affection upon his people. And if you ever question that love, family, he has given you a place in history where you can see it. that's the beauty of the cross. But I will say that means we need to learn to let the cross interpret providence in our life rather than letting providence interpret the cross. Now, so we have this eternal, sovereign, providential, wise, transcendent, good, loving God, and that isn't even, I mean, that's just a portion of who he is. …
… and therefore who can be against us? He who spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things we exult in this your grace in the name of Jesus our Lord and powerful master and Savior we pray everyone said
… He who didn't spare his own son, Jesus Christ, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, along with Christ, 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 that condemns? It's no one. Christ Jesus who died, more than that, who was raised to life. Where is he? He's seated at the right hand of the Father, and he is interceding for you. You don't pray alone when you pray. He's interceding for us. So who shall separate us from the love of Christ shall your trouble, shall your hardship, shall persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, or sword. No, in all of these things, we are more than conquerors through Christ, through Christ who loved us. You see, these aren't just words. I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor either angels or demons, the present or the future, any power, there isn't any height or depth, Nothing at all that in all creation could separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord. …
… this giving over a final judgment am I bound to this with no hope of release The same verb Paul uses three times, hand over, hand over, gave up, gave up, he uses again in Romans 8.32, he who did not spare his own son, here it comes, but gave him up for us all. How will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Do you see what that means? It means that the act of giving up, God gave up his son, a judicial activity, gave him up, reckoned as a sinner, gave him up to punishment and death. And yet it was not the end of the story for Jesus. And that giving up does not have to be the end of the story for you or anyone you love. There's forgiveness. There's power that raised Christ from the dead. You think these desires, you think this lifestyle, you think the lives of this world are a match for the God we've already encountered, for the gospel that is the power of God unto salvation? …
… gratitude will grow and coveting will lose its grip. Romans 8.32 says this, 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? God loves you and I so much that he gave us his son. He gave us salvation. If that was the only thing that he ever gave to you and to me, that'd be far more than we ever deserve, far more than we ever need. He loves us. He gave his life for us. He paid your debt. He secured your future. Let's pray together. Dearly, Father God, thank you so much for what you're doing in and through this church, Lord. Lord, help us break the chains, break the bonds, of coveting. Help us, Lord, practice gratitude out loud. If there's anyone here today who's hearing the sound of my voice and you've never given your life over to Jesus, never given him the reins of your life, and you want to make today that day, I want to lead you in a prayer. …
… and Romans 8 says, 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, will he not also along with him graciously give us all things? How about when that husband or wife leaves, or when the mom or dad is no longer in the house and God whispers to our hearts 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 that can ever separate you from my love. How about when we're afraid and we don't know what's coming in the future and God says in Isaiah 43, fear not, I have redeemed you. I have called you by name and you are mine. And when you pass through the waters, I will be with you. And when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned. …
… Look at verse 32. He, meaning God, who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Amazing statement. The greatest proof of God's promise to keep us is what He sacrificed to get us. This is an argument from the greater to the lesser. His love is so strong that He gave His Son for us. Will He not do what is less than that to keep us? You can't do more than to give Your Son to save us. We would assume You would do less than to keep us. He gave us the most, the best, and He has no capacity to hold back the least. That's why the Scripture says, you're blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Christ. He gave you Christ. That was the big sacrifice. The rest follows. Back in the fifth chapter of Romans, just by way of reminder, wonderful, familiar text, Romans 5, 6, for while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. …
… you to turn in your Bible to Romans chapter 8. It's a great chapter, but we're going to look particularly at verses 31 to 39, Romans 8, verses 31 to 39. And I'll read that for you just so you have it in mind. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies. Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword, as it is written, for your sake we are being put to death all day long. …
… If God is for us, that settles our eternity. And because He didn't spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? You can't imagine that God would give up His Son to die for us, and then His Son would lose us somehow. No. If He gave up His Son to deliver us, He will give us anything and everything else to secure that deliverance. What about somebody coming along and bringing a charge against God's elect, an accusation like Satan did with Job? God is the one who justifies. God has declared you righteous. There is no higher court. There is no more righteous being. Verse 34, who's going to condemn? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes rather who was raised, is at the right hand of God who also intercedes for us. No charge against us will stand. No condemnation against us will stand, because Christ is our high priest who paid for our redemption by His own blood entered into the Holy of Holies and intercedes for us. …
… can help us. All right. So verse 31, what then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died and furthermore is also risen, so that even at the right hand, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us, who shall separate us from the love of Christ, shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword, as it is written, for your sake, we are killed all day long. We are counted as sheep for the slaughter. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. …
