This verse is usually used when the believers gather together to pray, emphasizing the fact that even if only two or three believers gather together to pray God is still there in their midst, very much honored that they took the effort to gather together to pray.

If God is on the side of the believer, who can fight against him? The Devil? The Devil is no match to God. The passage says that God did not even spare His own Son just so the believer can be united with Him. He will never condemn the believer and in fact NOTHING can…
