This is
“Namma for Christ” with the two hundred forty-first inspirational message dated
Saturday, December 31st, 2022. The title of this message is, “We All Need
Jesus – Rom. 8:31-34 – God Is for Us”. The first four words of this message’s title are also the words
in the name of the below inspirational song/video, “We All Need Jesus” (with
lyrics) by “Danny Gokey and Koryn Hawthorne”.
“We All Need Jesus” is a song that I first heard on my favorite Christian radio
station - STAR 99.1FM. The below scripture text is what the Apostle Paul wrote
in the thirty-first through the thirty-fourth verses of the eighth chapter of
Romans:
Romans 8:31-34
New King James Version (NKJV)
31 What then shall we say to these things? If
God is for us, who can be against us? 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? 33 Who
shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who
justifies. 34 Who is he
who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also
risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes
intercession for us.
The title of this message includes the words “God Is for Us” – which is the “title”
of the Charles Stanley “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (12/28/22) – which I
have included below
I knew that it was a message that I wanted to share in my next “Namma for
Christ” blog. I hope you find (some of
the excerpts) as inspirational as I did:
God Is for Us
Romans
8:31-34
THROUGHOUT LIFE, there
will be times when our sins and failures might lead us to conclude that God is
disappointed or angry with us. When that happens, we need to fix our eyes on
the truth of Scripture and ask the questions Paul posed in Romans 8:
-
“IF GOD IS FOR
US, WHO IS AGAINST US?” (Rom. 8:31). By delivering His Own Son over to death in
order to save us, our heavenly Father proved His loyalty to mankind.
-
“WHO WILL BRING
CHARGES AGAINST GOD’S ELECT?” (Rom. 8:33). No accusations against us can stand,
since at the moment of salvation, the Lord justified us. This means we were
legally declared righteous, while still in our sinful condition. No one can
reverse this transaction and make us guilty again.
-
“WHO IS THE ONE
WHO CONDEMNS?” (Rom. 8:34). Although Satan rails against us, Jesus’ death and
resurrection are proof that we are right with God. Christ took our condemnation
and gave us His righteousness in return. Now He sits at the Father’s right
hand, interceding for us.
When doubts about the Lord’s love and
faithfulness arise, focus on truth. If we judge His loyalty to us by our
circumstances or feelings, we will never get an accurate view of God. True
security lies not in our good performance but in our relationship with Christ,
and no one can take that from us.
By Dr. Charles Stanley
Remember – There is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus – (see
Rom. 8:1-2 below)
Romans 8:1-2
New King James Version (NKJV)
There is therefore
now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not
walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Also –
Once you believe in Jesus – you are set free in Him:
John 8:36
New King James Version (NKJV)
36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be
free indeed.
Lastly, “GREATER is He
who is you, than he who is in the world” (see 1st John 4:4 below)
1st John 4:4
New King James Version (NKJV)
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Please enjoy the below
