Romans 8:32: 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?
God will withhold nothing in taking care of 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?” (v. 32). Again we are compelled to take our thinking to its logical conclusion. Since God gave his only Son for us, he will withhold nothing beneficial from us. For sake of illustration, suppose on a whim you visit a Rolls Royce dealership, enter a drawing, and win a brand-new Rolls Silver Cloud. When you go to pick it up, they say, “It’s all yours—tax free. Take it home!” But they refuse to give you the key. Ridiculous! If the car is yours, whatever you need to drive it is yours. Likewise, since we have received the incredible gift of God’s Son and salvation in him, it is ridiculous to suppose God will not give us everything else we need. 1
