Take Him at His Word

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

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8: 31-32)

We can take God at His Word because He gave His own Son for us. We cannot esteem anything greater than Jesus:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3: 16)

The greater our revelation of Christ and Him Crucified (1 Corinthians 2: 2), that He is -- right now and forever more -- the Propitiation for all our sins (1 John 2: 2), that in Him we have received all the riches, rights, and rewards which come with being an heir of God and a joint-heir in Christ (Romans 8: 15-17), then the easier it will be take Him at His Word for the "more astonishing" promises:

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13: 5)

The reason why our life can be free of "covetousness" is that:

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4: 19)

If we face any challenge, let us rely on Jesus to get through it all:

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4: 13)

God has made His word certain because He has given us the Word (John 1: 1), His Son made flesh.

Therefore, we can trust God the Father for all that He has promised:

"That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us." (Hebrews 6: 18)

Take God the Father at His Word!
