Romans 8:32,33 - He who did not spare His own Son

8:32

Adam and Eve believed God was against them after they sinned, they hid from Him in the garden. This has been the natural attitude of man ever since. Man tries to live without God, tries to pretend that there is no God, does all he can in his futile attempt to “prove” that there is no God. This belief that God is against us in deeply ingrained and it takes a lifetime to eradicate it. No matter how long we have been Christians we still have much to learn about just how much God is for us. We need to ponder what God has done. He created the universe and everything in it. He had no need to do that. He created you and I, He had no need to do that. Supremely He sent His Son to die for us on the cross. He had no need to do that. God chose to do these things. If God was prepared to do that, will He not do whatever is necessary in order to save us? In order to gives us all things that we need?

8:33

Having declared just how much God is for us Paul now turns his attention to those who oppose us. First he considers accusation. We will be accused. Now Paul is not saying we never do anything wrong, he is not looking at this issue from the perspective of whether we need to change our ways at all, rather he is looking at it from the perspective of our being right with God, our being justified. So if someone accuses us we need to ask one simple question. Who has justified us? It is God Himself, the blood of Jesus has justified us. When Satan accuses all we need to do is point him to the cross. When someone accuses us all God does is look at the cross and says “that has already been paid for”.
