Reflection:

Paul has argued already that through Christ, God has made it possible for us to be justified — to stand before him holy and blameless. Through the Holy Spirit in us, God has made it possible for us to be sanctified — made more and more like Jesus. Finally, God has promised that he will one day glorify us as we see him face to face with our newly redeemed bodies. Paul has already made the case; God is for us! It follows then that with God for us, no one or thing can stand against us. In Christ, God is for us. In Christ, no one or thing can stand against us.

If you were to tell someone, “This I firmly believe about God,” what would ‘this’ be?

Prayer:

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise God all creatures here below. Praise God above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
