Paul writes this message to the church of Philippi while imprisoned. Paul wrote understanding that the strength which filled him was not from his human capacity but from the Holy Spirit’s indwelling in him. He found His strength from the God who repeatedly forgave and loved him. Paul in the middle of persecution sought out the strength from the Lord rather than himself as he encouraged the church of Philippi to continue on in their faith and evangelism.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? 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, along with him, graciously give us all things?
God fights for us.
God fights for us.

Paul writes in Romans, to the Roman church expressing how God fights for us. Paul presents an open handed question with a matter of fact answer. A rhetorical question. and the answer to the question is not only that God is for us, but since he gives us everything as we fight. He fought so much FOR US that he gave his only son, and Paul then says, if he would give his only son, what then would he ever withhold from us!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love because he first loved us.
God loves us.
God loves us.
