Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional May 7 2020 – HE FREELY GIVES ALL
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?
Romans 8:32
Recommended Reading: Romans 8:31-39
In J. I. Packer’s classic book, Knowing God, he wrote about Romans 8:32, saying, “The meaning of ‘he will give us all things’ can be put thus: one day we shall see that nothing—literally nothing—which could have increased our eternal happiness has been denied us, and that nothing—literally nothing—that could have reduced that happiness has been left with us. What higher assurance do we want than that?”[1]
When we become Christians, God brings joy into our life—the joy of knowing that He has given us His Son, and through Him everything else we need or will ever need.
If Jesus Christ would give His own life for you, will He not also give you everything you need for life, godliness, happiness, joy, and eternal safety? The loss of joy is occasioned by unbelief. But the presence of joy is the natural consequence of knowing that Romans 8:32 is a living reality for us every day. Through Jesus Christ, God has given us everything.
You will never need more than he can supply, and what he supplies, both materially and spiritually, will always be enough.
J. I. Packer, Knowing God
