How God Is for Us

As a believer in Jesus Christ, rest assured that God is for you. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). The answer to that question is obvious. If God is for you, it matters not who else should be against you. God, who rules over all, is for you in Christ. He has forever proven it at the cross, where Jesus died for your sins (Romans 8:33).

God is for us during all the trials, temptations, and problems of life. No matter what you face in life, God is always for you. Therefore, you can depend upon His grace sufficient for every need (2 Corinthians 12:9). Even when you have failed God, you confess and repent of your sins, knowing that He will forgive you (1 John 1:9).

God is for us in any and every problem of life. "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" (Romans 8:37). As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are more than a conqueror. Nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).

God is for us, so we can pray with confidence. That should relieve our reluctance to ask God for help. Come with confidence to God's throne of grace, because God is for us. "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).
