If God be for us, who can be against us? [December 5,2021]
If God be for us, who can be against us? [December 5,2021]
If God be for us, who can be against us?
Isaiah 43:1
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, Oh Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by name; thou art mine
If God is for you, then He should be able to say, “You are mine” like the verse above says.
God did not only create and form you, He has also redeemed you through the blood of Jesus, if you are born again. If you are not born again, the gift of salvation is still available for you.
You have to take the decision to accept it. It is only when you accept the gift of salvation that you can say God is for you.
And when God is for you, no one can be against you. The bible says
We are like the apple of God’s eyes, He has His eyes always on us and He will let no harm come to us. (Zechariah 2:8)
Psalm 139:7-12 says
No one can hide from God , He is everywhere, no matter where you go. Under heaven , beneath the earth, under the sea, there is no place you can hide.
Romans 8:31
What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
When God is for you, He can turn your test into a testimony and work everything for your good, even the unpleasant experiences.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Make sure you are born again and living for the Lord.
2. Always expect the best even if everything around you indicates otherwise.
Prayer
Let this hymn be your prayer
Who is on the Lord’s side
Who will serve the king
Who will be His helpers
Other lives to bring
Who will leave the world’s side
Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord’s side
Who for Him will go?
By thy call of mercy
By thy grace divine
I am on the Lord’s side
Savior always thine
Amen
