God is for us...


What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 
Romans 8:31 NASB

Please read the verse above again.  Feel free to read it a few more times.  It can take years to undo the bad programming that we have received from our flesh and the world.  Bad ideas slip in, totally unchallenged.  Believers, saved by grace, still think that God is working against them.  Some think that God is holding grudges from past sins, others that God is on the other side of a chess board (Thinking "If I do this, He will do that").  Romans 8:31 blows all of those lies out of the water.  If you are in a relationship with Jesus Christ, God is FOR you!  Not just as a fan, or as a cheerleader.  He is going to see that you succeed spiritually - that is, be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.  Neither the Devil, nor his minions, neither the world system, nor it's authorities, neither your own quivering flesh, nor your own failing will can stand between God and His goal in your life.  God IS for you.  God NEVER fails.
