God is for us, so no one will be able to successfully oppose us. God demonstrated his love by sending his son for us, so he will also graciously give us all things. God has been with individuals and his people throughout history to guide their destiny. The spirit of God now resides within believers, as Jesus promised to send an advocate to be with and inside of believers forever.

2. GOD FOR US - FAVOR
Romans 8: 31, 32 =
“What then shall we say to all these things? If
God is for us, who can be [successful] against
us? He who did not spare [even] His own Son,
but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also,
along with Him, graciously give us all things?”
“For” (Gk – Pros) = toward, forward to, near
Ex. = John 1: 1 – “and the Word was with (pros) God”

3. GOD WITH US - DESTINY
To individuals:
Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Jeroboam
To His People:
“When you pass through the waters, I will be
with you; and when you pass through the
rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you
walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.”
Isaiah 43: 2

4. GOD IN US - RESIDENCY
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to
help you and be with (meta = accompaniment) you forever—17 the
Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither
sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with
(para = near, beside) you and will be in (en = a statement of rest)
you.
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.19 Before long,
the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.
Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize
that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
John 14: 16 - 20
