He Spared Not His Own Son

He did not even spare His own Son, but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything?—Romans 8:32


 
If you ever feel that you are so insignificant that God does not care about you or that He does not want to listen to your prayers, you will be encouraged by Romans 8:32. There, you are assured that your heavenly Father loves you unconditionally. There was nothing so precious to Him that He would not give it up in order to provide for your salvation. When the Father gave His precious Son to save you, He proved once for all that His love is boundless.

The apostle Paul concluded that if God would not spare His own Son in order to provide for our salvation, how would He not willingly give anything else at His disposal in order to care for us? He sacrificed so much to give us eternal life that we can rest secure in the knowledge that He also wants to give us abundant life.

Scripture reveals the solution for holding on to what is good—abstain from every form of evil. Evil robs you of what God intends for you. A spouse and family are great blessings, but the evil of adultery can rob you of the good that God has given. Prayer is a wonderful gift from God. Yet sin robs the power of prayer.
"...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.. John 10:10

In light of what God did for us at the cross, should we not approach the throne of grace with confidence? God's response to our prayers is not based upon our worthiness but upon His love and grace. Our confidence in prayer comes not from who we are but from who He is. Nothing we could ask of Him could ever compare with the price He paid for us at the cross.

How wonderful to know that God loves us so much! We can live with confidence and anticipation knowing that almighty God is willing not only to give us eternal life, but also to help us experience it fully!

ENGLISH LYRICS: O weary heart, there is a home But He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be save. Matt.24:13 1.  O weary heart, there is a home, Beyond the reach of toil and care, A home where changes never come: Who would not fain be resting there? Chorus: Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait, and murmur not! 2. Yet when bowed down beneath the load By heaven allowed, thine earthly lot; Look up! Thou' it reach that blest abode Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! 3. If in thy path some thorns are found, Oh, think who bore them on His brow,' If grief thy sorrow heart has found, It reached a holier than thou. 4. Toil on! Nor deem, though sore it be, One sigh unheard, one pray'r forgot; The day of rest will dawn for thee Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! Amen.
