What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? — ROMANS 8:31,32

God and you are working together in carrying out His plan for the redemption of the world. God can’t get along without you anymore than you can get along without Him. That’s one reason why Jesus gave us the illustration of the vine and the branches. The vine can’t bear fruit without the branches, and the branches can’t live without the vine.

Our text today is a part of the conclusion of the first eight chapters of Romans. And this passage shows us the absolute oneness of the Father God with His children. It shows us the perfect fellowship and cooperation God’s children enjoy with their Heavenly Father. It shows the mastery God’s children have over the forces of darkness and circumstances. And God climaxes this passage with verse 37: “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”

God is working actively on your behalf. He is standing up for you. He is fighting for you. He is supplying all your needs. Out of the treasury of His abundant grace, He is giving you His wisdom and His ability!

Confession: God is for me! Who can be against me? I am one with my Father! He is active on my behalf. He supplies my needs. I fellowship and cooperate with Him!
