Romans 8:31-32 NIV
What then shall we say in response to this? If God is for us who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all – how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?

It is God Himself who called us, justified us, and promised us glory in Him. Who can undo what God has done? Who can stand against the purpose of God? The Father sent His only Son to die in our place to bring us back to Him. Having given the greatest sacrifice possible we can be sure that He will give us all we need. If we ask in His will for anything, He will answer. Knowing all He gives to us, we should be confident in His love, protection, and provision. Too many Christians tend to think (consciously or not) that God is reluctant to answer our prayers and provide what we need. And though others and even our own conscience point to our sins and declare us unworthy, we must remember that our sins are covered and removed from us. God has made us holy and blameless before Him. He has given us rights as His beloved children and among them is the right to ask with confidence and expectation, if we ask with the right attitude of the heart – not for selfish gain but for our real needs and for the advancement of His kingdom and for His glory.
