Talk Back. Week 2. June 8, 2025. Romans 8:31-37. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 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? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 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? Truth #2 - God holds nothing back from you. Satan will always attack the Word of God. He questions, twists and manipulates it. God is NOT stingy, reluctant or limited. Genesis 3:1 Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 1. God is NOT STINGY. God is generous giver. "He who did not spare His own Son.” 2 Corinthians 9:15. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! Psalm 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. The Cross dismantles the idea that God gives bare minimum. Job 1:21 Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. God is giver, NOT a taker. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. Psalm 103:11-12 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. 2. God is NOT RELUCTANT. God delights in giving. “He delivered Him up for us all.” Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him. The Cross dismantles the idea that God gives reluctantly. John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. Luke 12:32 Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 3. God is NOT LIMITED. God has an abundance to give from. “How shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” John 1:16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. The cross dismantles the idea that God is limited. The cross is the receipt of heaven’s most generous act. NTCC Core Value - Grace. We find rest and joy in God’s unearned favor. Psalm 65:11 You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.
