Romans Chapter 8

If you need encouragement today, take a few minutes and read Romans chapter 8. There are so many verses in this chapter that will encourage you!

One of them is verse 31 that says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Or as The Message paraphrase reads, “With God on our side like this, how can we lose?”

Verse 37 says, “…We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” And that’s the key to our victory. It’s not because of us or anything we have done. It’s only because of Jesus who gave everything, even His very life for us! And why would He do that? Because of the incredible love he has for us!

I don’t think we can fully understand the love the Father and His Son have for us. The Father was willing to let His Son come to a sinful world to die for our sins! That is pretty amazing!

And for Jesus, the Son of God, to be willing to leave the beauty of Heaven and come to a world full of sin and darkness and die for us? That is amazing too!

My prayer for all of us is that we begin to better understand and fully comprehend how much we are truly loved by our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus!
