Romans 8:29 – 31 (NLT)
“29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. 31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”
I remember when Matt’s mom and I found out that we were having a child how excited we were but yet apprehensive if we could raise him or her right. We were Christians but were still concerned we did everything right. There was no gender reveal at that time and we just wanted a healthy child and we got one.
Nothing he could have ever done would have made us love him any less than we did. He had the best we could provide for him. Keeping that thought in mind just think how God looks upon us.
He wants nothing but the best for His children, we cannot do enough wrong that he will ever love us. God knew us intimately before we were born, He did not need gender reveal to know who we were or how we were going to turn out. He loves us unconditionally.
Then to add to that love He added “who can ever be against us” if He is for us. The victory is the believers for reaching out and accepting it. His desire for us is found in verse twenty nine. He chose us to become like His Son that is we can be transformed into the image of God by just asking for His forgiveness.
