Four Burning Questions—If God Is for Us…
Romans 8: 31-39
"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"
Some days we awaken to sunny skies. Other days are darker, and we’re gripped by pain. Whether the pain is physical or emotional, it can make us question God’s love and care for us.
But God counters our questions with some of His own—rhetorical questions—to remind us of His active involvement in our care. We find glorious sets of questions at the end of Job, in Isaiah 40, and scattered throughout the Lord’s ministry. But few passages exceed the interrogation of Romans 8, as Paul draws to a close in his theological instruction about justification by grace through faith.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?... How shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect … Who is he who condemns?... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
If your spirits are low today, answer the questions God sets forth. Who can be against you?
No one! What can separate you from His love? Nothing!
God’s burning questions have glowing answers that bring heavenly sunshine.
A point to ponder…
When Jesus shows His smiling face, there is sunshine in my soul.
