Romans 8:32

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things? "He that spared not his own Son" -an echo of Genesis 22:12. 'God searched heaven and earth to find. way to redeem us. There was no one; there was nothing. Only His Son! And God wouldn't even spare him. Does God want me saved?'

Application Time:

How many don't believe that God really loves them, until God gives them 'something else' in addition to His Son? 'If God really loved me then He would give me...a baby, nice house, my health back, wealth,. mate...etc..' Do you actually need some physical or material thing to 'perfect' the gift of Christ? So the gift of Christ isn't that impressive until. get my other 'stuff' first? How many people 'hold God to ransom' for such things as these? How many say, 'God IF YOU LOVED ME YOU WOULD GIVE ME.....'. Resist that temptation! There is no 'if' when it comes to God's love for us!

"freely give us all things". Matthew 6:33
