"He (God) who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up (to death) for us all, how will He not also, along with Him (Jesus), freely give us all things?" - Romans 8:32

This is a powerful question to consider especially when we are hearing narratives that one cannot expect to receive good things from God and that God sometimes does bad things with a good purpose.  These negative and blasphemous ideas of God would be like Him saying, "Hey you look so beautiful - let me give you some leprosy so that you learn humility and don't get proud".  Or like us saying "I am doing this sin, but with a good motive". 

Allow me to rephrase the above verse - "He did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all; and now with Him, He is willing and able to give you all things freely"

When our Lord Jesus Christ who knew no sin, had no sin and committed no sin, offered to take all of our sins upon himself, God consented and made him sin in our place on the cross.

Even though he was his own son, the Righteous Judge did not spare him.  He poured out His righteous anger upon Jesus Christ and punished him to the fullest extent even unto death.

God was pleased to punish His own Son so that He didn't have to punish us whom He loved so exceedingly.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was given up by the Father to die on the cross for us all.

In a sense, God loved us more than He loved His own son.

However, God raised him up from the grave and set him up at His right hand in heaven above all principality, power, might, dominion and name, not only in this world but in that which is to come, for the benefit of the church which is His Body. (Eph 1:22 NLT)

God who gave Jesus Christ for us, will also give His church, His body all things freely.

Today, our Lord Jesus Christ has power and authority in heaven and on earth.  He is seated above everything and God did this for the benefit of the church.

Jesus said in John 14:13 - "You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father" (New Living Translation).  

Do you want to bring glory to the Father? Then ask big.

When we realize that Christ is in an exalted state and we in Him have access to everything that He has access to, we will live overcoming lives.

We will not only overcome sin and the flesh, but we will overcome sickness and poverty.
