What, then, shall we say in response
to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare
his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along
with him, graciously give us all things?......
- Romans 8:31-32 -
Thoughts on This Verse...
We know God paid a high price to redeem and forgive us in Jesus. If he
has gone to such great lengths to purchase our pardon, what will he
refuse us that is good, right and holy? So if God answers our
prayers''No!'', then it is for our good and the eternal well being of
those for whom we've prayed. His intent is to bless, not wound. His
desire is to redeem. His commitment is to work things out for our
ultimate good (cf. Rom. 8:28) as he is transforming us to be more like
his beloved Son (Rom. 8:29).
