Since God is For Us

God has no equal.

Whom shall I fear?

Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.Deuteronomy 33:29

God has promised victory.

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.Psalm 27:1-5

God has supplied our deepest need.

We were deep in sin and could not save ourselves.

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.Ephesians 2:5-9

We were rescued by the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.Psalm 40:1-3

If God has cared for this need, will He not care for others?

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:19

Our sin has been obliterated and is no longer on our tab.

If my testimony is right before God and my fellow man, I’m good.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.1 Corinthians 4:2-4

I should not be concerned with the thoughts of others, but the thoughts of God.

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.Proverbs 29:25

Only Jesus has the power to condemn you, but He hasn’t.

Satan wants to condemn you.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.Revelation 12:9-10

Self wants to cause you to doubt.

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.2 Peter 1:3-4

The Gospel set you free, not just the day you got saved, but every day afterwards.

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Jesus is seated at the right hand of God and is working on your behalf.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;1 Timothy 2:5

We stand righteous before God and His desire to do right for His children.

We stand eternally secure in Jesus. We cannot lose our salvation.

We can trust our Father for every need we have. He has handily defeated sin, death and the grave, so we can trust Him for what we’ve got going on this week.

We stand in the sufficiency of Jesus and His finished work on the cross.
