We All Need Jesus – Rom. 8:31-34 – God Is for Us

 

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 1^st John 4:4 below)

 

1^st 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.
