A Glorious Promise

Another thought well worth your consideration:
“‘He spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how shall he not with him freely give us all things’ (Romans 8:32). How is it imaginable that God should withhold, after this, spirituals or temporals, from his people? How shall he not call them effectually, justify them freely, sanctify them thoroughly, and glorify them eternally? How shall he not clothe them, feed them, protect and deliver them? Surely if he would not spare this own Son one stroke, on tear, on groan, one sigh, on circumstance of misery, it can never be imagined that ever he should, after this, deny or withhold from his people, for whose sakes all this was suffered, any mercies, any comforts, any privilege, spritual or temporal, which is good for them.“
- John Flavel (quoted in The Purifying Power of Living by Faith in Future Grace by John Piper)
