What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

It is always a blessing to have someone you can call upon when you need someone to come to your rescue. Whether it’s a financial expert when you’re having some challenges in this area, a lawyer when you’re in legal trouble, or a friend when you need a listening ear, what a blessing to have someone on your side. Sometimes the need is so great that we need someone far greater than ourselves, far greater than any human being. Fortunately, God is always available. Paul the apostle writes this in Romans 8:31: “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” It’s a rhetorical question, of course. If God is for us, nothing and nobody can be against us. Paul has just been teaching about what Jesus did for us – calling us, justifying us, and eventually glorifying us. Nothing can thwart God’s plan for our lives. He stands with us, protecting us spiritually as we abide in Jesus Christ. As Paul says a few verses later, we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. God has your back – no matter what comes your way today, you will conquer.
These have been words from the heart.
