Listen: Romans 8

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Romans 8:32

Paul knows everything could fall apart—his ministry, freedom, even his life. Yet he doesn’t fear this possibility because he’s anchored in an unchangeable truth: God had already given him everything through Jesus. Paul knows the Father who didn’t withhold his Son will certainly provide everything else Paul needs. Paul teaches that security rests not in one’s circumstances but in Christ’s unfailing love, from which nothing can separate believers—not trouble, hardship, persecution, famine or even death. The proof of God’s commitment to provide for his people is displayed most clearly on the cross.

We may wonder: what if our retirement savings disappear? What if our health fails or the economy crashes? Even if our worst financial fears come true, we have an unshakeable hope: Jesus is with us now and forever (Matthew 28:20). Knowing the crucified and risen Christ is near and good means that when earthly securities crumble, we can still say with confidence: “I have Jesus, and he has me.” Our ultimate security isn’t in our bank accounts but in belonging to him. When we fix our eyes on what God has already done for us through Jesus—his life, death, resurrection and promised return—we find an anchor for our souls that holds firm in any storm. Nothing in all creation can separate us from his love.
