Outline: Navigator Bible Verse c9

[Rom] 8:30 And those whom He predestined, He also called; those whom He called, He also justified; those whom He justified, He also glorified

[Rom] 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

-[Rom] 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him graciously give us all things?

When we rely on God and stand firm in His grace, we must always remember what God has done. If we do not remember what God has actually done, we will be filled only with our own thoughts about God. Then, we end up having wrong thoughts about God. The reason for this is because the root of this thought is based on what a human would do.

Now, if we want to see what God has done, we should pay attention to the part that is mentioned in today’s passage.

“-[Rom.] 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 did not spare his own Son but gave him up as a ransom for all of us. So, wouldn’t he also give us all things with him? This expansion of God’s grace is that he gave him up for our salvation. So, when he gave him up for our salvation, he did so for our salvation. In other words, he did not give him up for our greed, but for our salvation. Therefore, we must understand, remember, and be thankful for what God does in this way. Then we can completely trust God.

In Genesis 22, Abraham obeyed God’s command to sacrifice Isaac. So he really wanted to kill Isaac and offer him up to God. He wanted to offer a human sacrifice. At that time, his thought about God was that God would raise Isaac up again. This is written in Hebrews 11:19.

“[Hebrews 11:19] He considered that God was able to raise him up from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he received him back.”

Abraham thought that God would do everything to raise Isaac up. That is the testimony of the Bible, and through that testimony, we learn that the reason Abraham could not kill Isaac was because he received him back from the dead. Therefore, the meaning of this statement that God gives us everything becomes clearer through the preceding verse.

“[Rom.] 8:30 And those whom he predestined, he also called; those whom he called, he also justified; those whom he justified, he also glorified.

[Rom.] 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

God did not simply save, but called, justified, and glorified those whom he predestined. He prepared his son Jesus for them, and he saved and justified them with the blood of Jesus. So, who can be against us when God loves and is for us so much?

Now, as we think about the preciousness of the salvation we have received and are thankful for that salvation, we must not forget that God is still striving to accomplish our salvation. That is the meaning of the words that He who gave His Son for us gave everything with Him. The Lord provides everything He can.

I pray in the name of the Lord that you will keep this grace today and become saints who are filled with the grace of God.

Prayer: Please help me to rely more on God who gave me everything along with his son.
