Rom. 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
The Bible makes it plain that God loves souls and He is for us. Not one single soul will go to hell because they were un-loved. The love of God should never be questioned. Some folks equate His love with His blessings. God can not bless one who rejects Jesus Christ, and God will not bless a disobedient child of God. But He still loves them. It would be very foolish for someone to say, “God, if you loved me you would do what I want, or give me what I want, or let me have my way.”
God has already proven His love by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God is for you, that is not in question...but what are we for?
There is an old adage that says, “If you will not stand for something, you will fall for anything.” That is what is wrong with the “can’t we just get along” crowd today. They do not believe anything...they say they do, but they don’t practice it. And the reason a vast majority of Christendom is not "for" anything is because they would have to be "against" something.
We ought to be for the Bible, but against man's philosophies. As the book of Isaiah reminds us, God's thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are higher than ours. At times human thinking may coincide with the divine, but it is never to be totally trusted. Truth must always be chosen over error.
Years ago, I heard a popular and well known preacher say, "Every Christian ought to stand for something...even if it is Hershey bars."
