Prayer 26: For Courageous Living

Promises, Romans

Gracious Father, if You are for us, who can be against us? You did not spare your own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will you not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom you have chosen? It is You who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life— is at your right hand and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;

 we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For we are convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In Christ,

Blessings!

Romans 8:31-38
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 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? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life— is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;

  we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Through Christ, a new investment is made in man. We are endowed with a new heart and the Holy Spirit is invested in us. (Pg. 92- Mistaken Identity)
