“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).

God gave His Son, Jesus, to become a man so He could experience what it is to be human. He understands our weaknesses and infirmities. Ultimately God laid on Him the iniquity of us all. The entire payment of our sin was paid by Jesus. That God gave Jesus for our salvation shows that God will give to us all things that we need. The argument is from the greater to the less. If He gave us the greater gift He will not withhold the less.

There is another issue that comes to mind. It is easy for us, because we know our faults and weaknesses, to devalue ourselves and feel that we are not as valuable as God says we are. I once looked at a Picasso painting on the front page of the newspaper. The article pointed out that it sold for $270,000. I was thinking that it wasn’t worth that much. I felt God said to me, “It’s worth what someone paid for it.”

Look at what God paid for us—the life of His Son, Jesus. Never devalue yourself and never underestimate what God is graciously willing to give us.
