He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
God gave His Son as proof of His willingness to do good to all for whom He gave Him, not merely the apostles or the rich, but every humble believer. From the greater gift He will not withhold the lesser; all other things needful for our welfare are given freely, by mere mercy, all of grace.

Paul throws down the gauntlet here: if God be for us, who can prevail against us? All His attributes, all His promises, all that He is and has, stands for His people. Even when He seems to act against them, He remains for them.

Commenting on Romans 8:31-39
God exercised a mysterious act of paternal self-sacrifice in not sparing His own Son, one that transcends any sacrifice we can make as far as His nature exceeds the creature's. This is inconceivable unless Christ is God's proper Son, partaker of His very nature.
