He Freely Gives Us All Things

Romans 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things.

Is there anything a person could do to earn the salvation that God offers? The answer of course is clear, we could not. If we could, Jesus would not have needed to die for us. Not only could we not earn our salvation, we were far from perfect, for we were sinners in need of salvation. So once we are born again, why do so many believers think they must earn the promises of God we have been given through Christ Jesus?

The scripture above clearly states that if God did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all to be saved, how then would He not also freely give us all things? We are the ones who think somehow after being saved we have to convince God to give us what He has already freely provided through the redeeming work of Jesus. But the same way we received salvation is the same way we receive His promises, by faith in what He has already done.

In 2 Corinthians 1:20 we are told that all the promises of God are yes and amen. We must first know the answer as to whether every promise God has given us is already ours. The answer is yes. Then we must give our “amen” to receive it. Amen simply means “so be it for me”. This is a statement of faith. When we choose to believe in our heart, confess with our mouth, and act upon His promises as already ours because they are, we can “freely” receive what has already been freely given to us through what Jesus has done for us.
