What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. (Romans 8:31-36)
Another Handel's Messiah moment; If God be for us who can be against us? Fond memories of that song.
So here's the point, God the Father is unimaginably powerful, and he let his Son Jesus die for you because he loved you so much. How can anything bad ever happen to you?
Well, it can actually; though as we saw in verse 28, this will be for your ultimate good. God has a way of making things turn out well, no matter how bad they may seem right now. When things are good we do not need to be afraid for the future because God will take care of us, we have peace. When things are bad we do not need to despair for the future because God will take care of us, we have hope.
I have experienced these, you can too, if you submit to Jesus.
