Experience God’s Love
What then are we to say about these things?
If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not
withhold His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will
He not with Him also give us everything else?
Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God
who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died,
yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who
interceedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,
or peril, or sword? As it is written,
“For your sake we are being
killed all day long;
we are accounted 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, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height,
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able
to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8;31-39).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) God for us, God with us is IMMANUEL, JESUS THE CHRIST.
This is the BEST NEWS EVER.
Contrasted with the sin and darkness of the world, God’s righteousness
brings us to right standing with God.
Since GOD IS FOR US everything changes. Death is swallowed up in
victory. Darkness has dissipated. Hope is restored. We are more than
conquerors through Jesus the Christ Who took our place on the Cross.
Jesus tells us to ‘be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world’.
Since God is for us, no one and nothing can separate us from His love
that is in Christ Jesus. This is the central Truth of the Bible. This is
the point of His Invitation. This is the purpose of creation. The delivery
of creation from the futility of death, decay and destruction is the ultimate
message of prophecy.
Since God is for us; nature, history and humanity are now destined
to perfection and fulfillment in Christ Jesus. The point of it all is ‘that God
may be all in all’ (I.Corinthians 15.28). AMEN! HALLELUJAH!
