Romans 8:32 "He who did not spare His own Son, ..... will He not also with Him freely give us all things?"
Psalm 84:11 "No good thing does [God] withhold..."
2 parts of verse 32 of Romans 8 - The foundation [the hard thing of not sparing His son], and the promise [the easy thing of freely giving us all things].
"His father killed Him" for us all, on our behalf... 2 Cor 5:21
Puritan pastor John Flavel, "He spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how shall he not with him freely give us all things?" [Rom 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, one tear, one groan, one sigh, once 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, spiritual or temporal, which is good for them."
