Romans 8:28-31
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did pre-destinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did pre-destinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
We are blessed in every way in our life, and we thank God for all things provided to us. Why would God blessed us? How can we continue to receive God's blessings?
1. Love God - if you want to have a good life, love God. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God". If you love God, you will keep his commandments. Do you have a ability to keep and obey God's commandment. We can do this because God gave us strength. He was the one who loved us first, that's why he made all these possible for us.
2. God called us- When God called us, you will know that it is it irresistible. He touched us via many ways - through a friend, a flyer, a website, and you are moved to come and understand and accept Christ. When he called, we accept and he will give much all the goodness we need in life.
3. We are predestined to be called because God knows us even before we were born. He chose us before all things and predestined us for salvation. An example is the nation of Israel. Why did God choose Israel? Because he loved them. He chose to save Israel. We can love God, only because he first loved us. If we loved God, God will bless us and help us. Just like how He helped Israel. "If God be for us, who can be against us?"
Years on, after we received the Lord, have we had any lack? None. God's provision is in abundance and His will and timings is always perfect. We will learn to love him and abide in him because He love us. Be on God's side, the side that is always blessed beyond any doubt.
