This I know, that God is for me. Ps56.9 ESV
How is this possible? How can someone know with any certainty that God is for him or her? Just saying so doesn’t make it true, and a false bravado doesn’t change this. But to know and truthfully know that God is committed to your well being, that He has pledged Himself to your eternal good is a great, if not the greatest comfort. Who in this world of sinful people can say this? The Bible asserts, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”
The answer to this “if” is found in these words that follow: “the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Our belief that God is for us is not founded in the false bravado of worth we have assigned to ourselves but in the worth God has assigned to us when He gave His son as a ransom for us. Why do I believe that God is for me? Well, it is written, "God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life... I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life." 9/15/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
