All Things Freely Given

Romans 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
What one thing is most impossible for any of us to achieve? Give up? Going to Heaven. There is not one single thing we can do to get into Heaven. Yet, God made a way for us by pouring His wrath, for our sins, on our Savior, Jesus Christ. He gave us His only Son so that He could then give us the one thing that was impossible for us to obtain on our own...salvation. Stop and think about that for a moment. If that is so, if God gave us His Son, and gave us eternal life, never to lose it, then how is it that we often behave as if it is impossible for God to get us thru the every day trials, challenges, and circumstances, we experience? He promised in this chapter of Romans that all thing would work together for good, and that nothing can separate us from His love. Those are promises we need to hold on to, tightly, during the tough times of life. God, who gave us His Son, will freely give us grace, mercy, strength, forgiveness, His patience, and whatever else we need, when it is needed. We simply need to trust, and believe, that this is true. Remember, He also says that if He is for us, who can be against us. The Word of God tells us that He who is in us (the Holy Spirit) is greater the he that is in the world (the devil). Nothing is impossible for our God, and He will never fail us in our times of need.
