“He who did not spare his own
Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him,
graciously give us all things?” Romans 8:32
God gave up His only Son
for our sin; the ultimate sacrifice, the worthy for the unworthy. The incredible thing about it is that one
drop of Christ’s blood cleanses any and all sin. The pure and spotless Lamb of God laid down
His own life for all of mankind. What an
unbelievable event in the annals of time.
Knowing we were worthy of being cast into hell’s lake of fire for all
eternity God willingly offered His Son to not just cover, but erase our
transgressions for all time. Still, even with this amazing truth available men
choose not to believe it. That fact
alone is testament to the notion that mankind is incapable of reasoning out
rational scenarios. We fight for our
right to live as we choose never being able to see the big picture. God isn’t trying to trick man into serving
Him. He is freely offering us a
pardon. He is offering to remove the
death sentence we were born with and replace it with eternal life. The only catch is we must ask for it and as
with any gift, receive it.
The “things” Paul is speaking of here are not whatever we desire, but
rather all the things we need in this life to survive. God has promised to provide for and sustain
us throughout this life if we will allow Him to. So many Christians give their lives to the
Lord and then take it back only to struggle with things they shouldn’t have to
wrestle with. God is faithful and more
than worthy of all praise. He has
provided a way to escape our just punishment and will provide a life filled
with blessings if we allow Him to.
Surrender your will over to your loving Heavenly Father. You will not be cheated. Until next time, walk with the King and be a
blessing!
