God Is For Us (26 of 49)
Series: Romans- God's Glorious Gospel
Jerry Watts
Romans 8:26-30
Don Moen is a name which is well known among modern day musicians. He has written some of the most beloved and sung songs of our time. As a writer/producer/publisher, he and the team at Integrity Music developed and released Worship projects for choirs. One of those was entitled, ''God for Us''. Did you realize that in His sovereignty God is actually ''FOR'' us?
God is actually for everyone of His crown creation (that would be you and me), even those who don't know Him, don't want to know Him, and don't care about Him.

The Spirit's Availability - Verse 26 says in part, ''In the same way the Spirit also joins to us help.'' When we come to Jesus in faith, God provides the Spirit to be our counselor, guide and friend. He is always available. He is available to be our comforter, our conscious, as well as our counselor. He is one that will never mislead, misinform, an ...
