“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” -Romans 8:32 (NASB)
Yesterday we looked at the first part of a multi-promise understanding that since God is our defense, we really need not fear any adversary that seeks our destruction. Today, the part of that promise is that God the Father gave us of his own prefect will, his unique Son. The Father did not spare His own Son but actually delivered Him over for us all. Some of that 'us', that is 'mankind', hated God’s son Jesus. They rejected the offer of righteousness and His invitation into the Kingdom of Heaven. Instead, out of hate and jealously they conspired and manipulated the masses to call for Jesus to be put to death on a Roman cross. God the Father did not step in, and though He could easily have, He did not spare His Son from a criminal execution, from death. Not deserving of death but freely submitting to the Father, Jesus was crucified. Now, we who believe Jesus is the Son of God, and that he died, was buried, and rose again to new life can trust that God will give us everything we need to live for Him.
