LET YOUR SEA LEVEL RISE!
Let your sea level rise! I say, let your confidence swell up.
You might have been in doubt lately wondering if God is really good. God doesn't change in texture. He's the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb.13:8).
Just like I said in a recent quote, "stop confessing your state of dissatisfaction. For once, quieten yourself, introspect and you won't but be convicted into gratitude."
And that's actually true. Why should you not be shaken on God's love and care to wonder whether you still have His hearing at all or ask if you're still written in His book? You're engraved on His palm (Isaiah 49:16).
He does! His love is actually unchanging for you and there's one proof here that affirms He hasn't jettisoned you but will rather give you all things that you desire or shall ask for in His will.
What does the Bible say?
Romans 8:32, KJV
"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
What that place wants you to see is this. Of all the assets in God's custody and store, the greatest of them is His Son. Jesus is worth more in value than the promotion, baby, spouse, job, travelling access, breakthrough etc you're asking or looking unto Him for. Yet, He gave you the chief of all His belongings. The Bible in KJV used a language I'd like us to stop to consider. It says, "He that spared not his own Son..."
What does it mean to "spare" a thing? It means to let off the hook, to let go, to let go of punishment, to forgive, to be appeased concerning something. But I also consulted the dictionary and it gave me the varieties below.
- To show mercy, to have mercy on.
- To desist; to stop; to refrain.
- To refrain from inflicting harm; to use mercy or forbearance.
- To preserve (someone) from danger or punishment; to forbear to punish, injure, or harm (someone); to show mercy towards.
- (Specifically) To refrain from killing (someone) or having (someone) killed.
- To keep.
- To be frugal; to not be profuse; to live frugally; to be parsimonious.
- To keep to oneself; to forbear to impart or give.
- To save or gain, as by frugality; to reserve, as from some occupation, use, or duty.
Even when Jesus prayed and pleaded in the garden of Gethsemane that, "let this cup pass over me" before He conclusively submitted to His Father's will and prayed, "not my will but your will"; yet God didn't answer His prayer (Matthew 26:39-44).
God was determined not to give Him up to release. No going back! The Almighty like one caught in the robe of bitterness had to temporarily shut His eyes therefore! Do you know how critical that was to God when He turned His ear away from Jesus and allowed Him to be brutalized and suffered for our sins and the just punishment that we should have taken.
For short, He took our punishment and bore our sins.
God didn't spare Him at all. God didn't protect Him. God didn't snatch Him from that herculean assignment, send Him into an inner bunker and lock the room against Him to keep Him from death or a falling to the ground as a corn of wheat (John 12:24). He rather yielded Him up. He gave Him up as a gift. That's what John 3:16 summarizes.
John 3:16 cries that what God did was out of love for us. If not, which father or parent is in his right senses as to yield up His one and only son for sacrifice - dying for others? John rather says, "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
Even that love was not an ordinary love. It had to be described, qualified and quantified. We were told it was one type or kind of love. What adverb was put in front of that "loved?" It is the word "so."
We use the word "so" to show the extent or elasticity of something. When it says, "for God so loved the world..." That "so" is showing the degree of God's love. That means the kind of love that propelled God the Father to yield up God the Son is the "so great love" for us sinful mortals. Wretched us now deserving God's best - the yielding up of God's begotten (or only) son. The only one He has. Have you seen someone who's that loving, who has only one pen and yet loans it out when he also needs it to write? Even when he doesn't need it there and then to write, he doesn't give it out for the fear of not retrieving it. Selfishness will always lead to fear of dispossession for him! However, God went all out. He risked it all in good faith and assurance. Kasa! [I'm turned from inside out] over this degree or so great love!
Any human being is too wise for that but God didn't spare Jesus for our sake. Probably, you need to hear the full gist as Isaiah recounts it. I'll post it all. Just read it all. Mr. Isaiah, will you please take us on?
Isaiah 53:4-11
"4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted."
"5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
"6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."
"7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."
"8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken."
"9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth."
"10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."
"11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."
He was subjected to all that and thanks He also agreed and succumbed to it. So, it became a willing act for Him (John 10:15,17,18).
You can see the Father didn't spare or pamper Him at all. He rather gave Him up for our sins to be laid on Him. At His death, He therefore atoned for us before the Father. Hallelujah!
He didn't sin; we did but He was the One who paid. What sort of logic is this? Shouldn't the debtor atone for his debt? We should have but we cannot satisfy the justice/righteousness of God as sinners. We aren't without blame or blemish. So, Jesus, the Lamb of God who was slain from the foundations of the earth did it on our behalf and for us (John 1:29, I Peter 1:18-23). So, we just entered into that finished work by faith and we have our account of sin forgiven and wiped clean. There and then, old things will pass away and the new will fill our lives.
Another to consider is, "...but delivered him up for us all"
Jesus is one meat that goes round. He was given for the whole world. Romans 5:8 says, "while we're yet sinners Christ died for us." John 3:16 says, "for God so loved the world..." Jesus is a sacrifice for the whole world, people, races, languages, those born again presently or not yet born again and still in sin and under Satan's paternity.
He was not reserved for the rich, famous, Blacks or Whites or the elites. He's no special reserve for just somebody or a sect or race. He was given equally for the redemption of any who'll come and put their faith in Him and repent of their sins right away.
It's after looking at these two broken up parts that the verse now proceeds to say, "...how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
It means, one, God will not withdraw the effectual sacrifice of Jesus from us. His works - sufferings, death, resurrection will continue to work for us and answer us. However, there's an additional blessing given with that cogent and invaluable gift of Jesus!
It's that God, the Father will give anything with or beside Jesus to us. Mention it. As long as it's God's will and need for you, you'll have it.
"...how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
But, take cognizance of how it'll be given. "Those things" or "All those things" will be given FREELY to us. "Freely" is also an adverb modifying "give" [a verb]. It means -
- In a free manner.
- Without interference or restriction.
- Of one's own free will.
What does that mean?
It means God will give to you freely, liberally, graciously, gladly or generously without inhibition. Consider James 1:5 also.
Given freely means it'll flow to us like water runs from the tap and like a stream flows at a good velocity downstream.
It means it'll come and meet with eagerness, readiness and the willingness of God to make a release to us all.
But also, in enough abundance.
We can also infer that it'll come with no burden or repercussions! It means you don't have to do ritual or bury something on the ground to have wealth or fear consequences as far as you heed God's answer in the inspiration He'll give that'll well up in you which you must act on through hard work. That will become the key to your wealth.
It's after all these that we can now crown it with the seal of assurance by which we now know that if God gave much effort and so great love to give Jesus to us, He won't withdraw any good thing from our hands.
If He didn't spare Jesus (the chief of all His assets and belongings), what's a car to God then? That's ordinary scrap metal now. You'll use many in God's will. Apply the same to all the things you've been asking for whether great or small.
Also, this verse conclusively emphasises that God's giving of His Son was not just a sacrifice but also the foundation for providing "all things Christ bought for us".
The phrase “what Christ bought for us” is a way of expressing what Jesus accomplished through His death and resurrection, especially within Christian theology as it concerns us. The idea is that through His sacrificial death, Jesus “purchased” or secured certain spiritual blessings for believers. Here's a list of key things that Christ bought for us, based on Scripture and theology.

11.Access to God

Meaning: Believers can now come boldly to God in prayer and worship.
12.A Glorious Inheritance

Meaning: We share in Christ’s inheritance - eternal blessings and glory.
13.Freedom from the Law’s Curse
Verses: Galatians 3:13
Meaning: Christ redeemed us from the Law’s penalty by becoming a curse for us.
14.Sanctification (Growing in Holiness)
Verses: 1 Corinthians 1:30, Hebrews 10:10
Meaning: Christ not only justifies but sets us apart to grow in holiness.
15.A Ransomed People for Himself
Verses: Titus 2:14, Revelation 5:9
Meaning: Christ purchased a people to belong to Him and reflect His glory.
Let your boast be in these. Be assured that if He gave Christ for you, will He not beside Christ freely give all things to you.
That includes your need on or for life's journey until you transit to glory.
Shout hallelujah as you're rest assured and relieved from doubt on God's love and provision that Satan had told you.
Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus!
TO BE BORN AGAIN
Begin to confess your sins right now. Mention them one by one as far as you remember and ask God for His forgiveness. Call Him into your heart as Lord and Savior. Believe you're forgiven and birthed to new life as a repentant sinner.
Hallelujah!
