God Is For You

God is for you in Christ. As a believer in Jesus Christ, you should never doubt that God is for you. He proved it forever by giving His Son for you. "If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since God did not spare even his Son but gave him up for us all" (Romans 8:31-32, NLT). If you ever doubt that God is for you, look at Christ crucified for you. He is forever for you, and all who believe in His Son.

Believe that God is for you, no matter what happens in your life. Calamity may fall upon you, but God is for you. Friends may forsake you, but God is for you. Sickness may attack you, but God is for you. Death may take a loved one away, but God is for you. No matter what happens, God is for you.

How much is God for you? Look at the outstretched arms of Jesus hanging on a cross, suffering, bleeding and dying for you. That's all there is. That's how much God is for you. He could not love you any more. He will never love you any less. Nothing will separate the believer from the love of God in Christ Jesus. "Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39, NLT).

Now you can say, based upon the Bible, "God is for me. I know God is for me. He spared not His Son even for me." Believe it. Confess it. Thank God that He is for you as a believer in Jesus Christ our Lord.
