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 alos, along with Him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
Romans 8:31-33
How often have you thought that because you were not good enough that you did not deserve God's gift of mercy? How often have you felt that salvation is for everyone else but you? Then read these verses again; they speak right to the heart of those unfounded fears. Think about it: if God gave his Son for you, He isn't going to hold back the gift of salvation. If Christ gave His life for you, He isn't going to turn around and condemn you. He will not withhold anything you need to live for Him. The book of Romans is more than a theological explanation of God's redeeming grace - it is a letter of comfort and confidence addressed directly to you.
Merry Christmas,
J.H.
