Rom 8:32 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?
He spared NOT His own SON.
Most people cannot fathom the idea of sacrificing any child of theirs and that's a GREAT thing. We aren't supposed to find it easy to sacrifice our children. God does not WANT us to sacrifice our children.
Eze 23:39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
Lev 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed (((CHILDREN)))) pass through the fire to Molech, (((FALSE GOD)))) neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Lev 20:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
Lev 20:3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Lev 20:4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
Lev 20:5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
Jer 7:31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
The idea of sacrificing a CHILD is abhorrent to God, He despises it!
God SPARED NOT HIS OWN SON.
The difference being HIS SON OFFERED HIMSELF and GOD ALLOWED it. God allowed His Son to sacrifice Himself for humanity! God allowed His Son to SAVE HUMANITY by repairing the breach made by SIN.
God had to watch HIS SON die a horrific death, and He didn't have to.
Just imagine having to watch your child, adult child, sacrifice themselves. God spared NOT His own Son!
Rom 8:32 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?
God delivered His Son up for US ALL.
If God could sacrifice so much how can we believe that He doesn’t love us enough to care for us as we are needed to be cared for?
How can we doubt God because things don't go as we want them to, as we expect them to, as we believe they should go according to our way of thinking? How?
He delivered HIS SON up for us!
We understand in a different way the idea of having to watch your adult child go through horrors, some understand the horror of having to watch, or deal with having a young child go through unimaginable pain and suffering. We do understand this, some more personally than others who haven't been touched by such depravity, such horrendous misfortune. We do comprehend this on some level and we are heartbroken by it.
God- had to watch every bit of His Son's suffering, the suffering of One he'd known since everlasting to everlasting. God had to watch, when He DIDN'T HAVE to watch. God had the power to stop it all, to keep His Son from suffering. It was within His power to stop it all and yet His love and the Son's love for us was so powerful, so intense, so beyond our real comprehension that He chose not to use that power.
Can you imagine having it within your power to stop the suffering of someone you love (not by killing them) but by healing them, and you choose NOT to use that power because there is a greater purpose going on?
We can hardly comprehend such love.
So when we doubt our God's love for us we need to delve into this selfless act of sacrifice and what is all means.
Rom 8:32 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?
God will give us ALL THINGS without any compunction at all, without holding back for a moment, but He will only do this if it is ultimately for our GOOD. Remember?
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
ALL THINGS work together for GOOD- to THEM that love GOD.
God will give us ALL THINGS for our GOOD if we LOVE HIM. And we don't have to understand how the horrible things are working for our good, we just have to have faith that they will work that way, because our GOD who spared NOT HIS OWN SON, who DELIVERED HIM UP for US, will not keep us from salvation-- the very reason HIS SON was SACRIFICED.
Please LORD, help us to understand! Please LORD, help us to believe and HELP our UNBELIEF!
Please help us LOVE YOU MORE!
All in Your amazing love.
All glory, honor, and praise to YOU!
AMEN!
