"If God is for us..."

Text: Romans 8:31

WONDERFUL RAMIFICATIONS

God’s plan of salvation is truly profound. There are so many aspects of salvation that are truly astounding. Let us consider some wonderful ramifications of this glorious plan of salvation.

“What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare His own Son, but
delivered Him up for us all, how shall He
not with Him also freely give us all things?
Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect?
It is God who justifies.
Who is he who condemns?
It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen,
who is even at the right hand of God,
who also makes intercession for us.”
