Sparing Ourselves?

12/24/22

φείδομαι pheidomai;
of uncertain affinity; to be chary of, i.e. (subjectively) to abstain or (objectively) to treat leniently: — forbear, spare.
AV (10) - spare 9, forbear 1;
to spare to abstain.

If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not *SPARE* his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

If God did not spare himself or his baby son, why would it make sense for US to try to SPARE OURSELVES of inconvenience, or loss of reputation, or fear, or loss of money, or loss of sleep, or loss of warm-fuzzies? 11:09 a.m.
