What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31 (NKJV)
Life has many different types of challenges, such as relationship problems, health troubles, financial difficulties, or spiritual uncertainties. Often, we feel overpowered and outnumbered during times like these. However, Paul poses: “If God is for us, then who can be against us?”
If God is For Us….
This is a statement to live by rather than a question to consider. It calls on us to reflect on God’s unfathomable love, power, and faithfulness. No matter how strong the enemy, it cannot eventually defeat us while God is on our side.
God’s favor stems from His grace, not from our deservingness or accomplishment. Nothing can keep us from His love, not even our shortcomings or our situation. Our hearts should feel calm and confident knowing this.
We can remain strong in the face of adversity because we know that the universe’s Creator is on our side, not because of our own strength. He defends us, fights our battles, and makes everything work out for our benefit.
Who Can Be Against Us?
If you genuinely believed God was for you, how would your life change? Would you be more courageous in the face of difficulties? Would you be bolder in your prayers? Knowing that you are safe in Christ, would you be more giving to others?
Have confidence and believe that God’s will and power will be carried out. Given that He is constantly at work on our behalf, it is an exhortation to give Him our worries and anxiety.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, when life’s challenges threaten to overwhelm us, may we never forget that because You are on our side, nothing can defeat us.
