How can God be for us when we are sinners?

Answered in 1 source

God can be for us because He justifies us through Christ's death, as highlighted in Romans 8:34.

God’s ability to be for us, despite our sinful nature, is a central theme in the theology of redemption. Romans 8:34 clarifies that it is Christ who died for our sins, thus enabling God to justify us. The wages of sin is death, yet through Christ’s atoning sacrifice, the penalty has been paid. Therefore, when God looks at the elect, He sees them as righteous, not because of their works, but due to Christ's righteousness imputed to them. This profound understanding of justification emphasizes grace, affirming that while all have sinned, those in Christ are declared righteous and accepted by God.
