Psalm 56:9 states “…this I know, for God is for me.” That is a wonderful truth and promise to know! “If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31. Baxter wrote in his book “The Saint’s Everlasting Rest”, “What should stop me or intimidate me? Is God with me or against me in the work? Will Christ stand by me, or will He not? If God and Christ be for me who can be against me? In the work of sin, almost all things are ready to help us, and only God and His servants are against us; yet how ill does that work prosper in our hands! But in my course to Heaven, almost all things are against me, but God is for me; and therefore how happily does the work succeed! Do I enter upon this work in my own strength, or rather in the strength of Christ my Lord? And cannot I do all things through Him that strengthens me? Is anything too hard for Omnipotence? GOD IS FOR US!

Let me give you just a few of the promises of this truth in the Scriptures:

Psalm 126:3, “The LORD hath done great things for us:”

Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

II Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

I John 3:16, “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:”

PSALM 56:9, “THIS I KNOW, FOR GOD IS FOR ME!”

God is the Creator. He is also the Savior. The One who had the power of creation also has the power of recreation. The Psalmist said concerning this, “this I know.” I John 5:11-13, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the son of God hath not life.” “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”

II Corinthians 5:14, “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. We, as Christians, should live for the One who died for us!

MY LIFE, MY LOVE, I GIVE TO THEE.

My life, my love, I give to Thee, Thou Lamb of God who died for me;
Oh, may I ever faithful be,   My Savior and my God!

O Thou who died on Calvary, To save my soul and make me free,
That I may ever live for Thee   My Savior and my God!

I’ll live for Him who died for me, How happy then my life shall be!
I’ll live for Him who died for me, My Savior and my God!

HE IS WORTHY.
