Didn’t Spare Him

Romans 8:32 NIV
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?


In my own words, to sum up the above verse... simply put.
God gives us freebies. After all, He gave His Son for us, and didn’t spare Him.
Wow.

He didn’t spare his own Son. He didn’t hesitate to put his own Son’s neck on the line, for our sakes. In the dictionary, “to spare” can mean, refrain from harm or destroying, hurt or pain. So God didn’t spare his Son. He didn’t stop his own Son from harm, from feeling pain or hurt. For our sakes. So we don’t need to suffer the consequences of our sins.
God gave his Son for us.

And so the argument is, how then will he NOT give us things?
I’m not talking material things (although that’s usually the obvious assumption). God is more than the material giver.
I know people in Asia worship Santa Claus because they believe he’s the god of material gifts.
No, not God, the Creator. 
He’s not only the provider of material goods. He also blesses us with: 
- Redemption: delivering us from our wages of sin [which would have been death]
- Grace [a free gift, see the previous post!]
- Spiritual blessings [can’t summarize right now sorry... another post for another day!]
- Adoption into His family of believers so we are Heirs to His throne in Heaven. [yeh, we’re Royalty!]
- Eternal life
- And of course love 
I could go on. That’s just the tip of the iceberg!


It’s a crazy concept. How freely He gives. But it was at the cost to His own Son’s death. 
To a non-believer who can’t get their head around it, or a normal person... You’d think He was nuts.
No. I think that’s what we call UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
Love with NO limits. For the sake of so many more of His Sons and Daughters.
Sweet.
