Tasting Life

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 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? – Romans 8:31-32 (NKJV)

What does this passage mean to you? Do you believe this? What does it mean to believe this? How does a person who believes this live life? Who have you seen who lives life this way?

Following story found at: http://www.inspirationpeak.com/cgi-bin/stories.cgi?record=145
Before the young man began his studies, he wanted assurance from the Master. "Can you teach me the goal of human life?"


"I cannot," replied the Master.


“Or at least its meaning?"


"I cannot."


"Can you indicate to me the nature of death and of life beyond the grave?"


"I cannot."


The young man walked away in scorn. The disciples were dismayed that their Master had been shown up in a poor light.


Said the Master soothingly, "Of what is it to comprehend life's nature and life's meaning if you have never tasted it? I'd rather you ate your pudding than speculated on it."

Because God is for us, nothing can be against us! We are free to live life, to taste all life has to offer without fear. We are not to be speculators of truth, but people who live lives of truth! Go taste the freedom of the Gospel truth knowing that God is for us!

With hope and joy,
Garrett
