Short Bible Study with me about Romans 8:28
Introduction
Looking for guidance in times of uncertainty? Look no further than God’s Word. We all go through trials and tribulations in life and at times it might seem tough. However, it’s during these times that Romans 8:28 brings us hope. Let’s dive deeper into this powerful scripture to understand how it applies to all aspects of our life and how we can use it to strengthen our faith and spread positivity around us.
Bible Verse
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
-Romans 8:28 NKJV
Meaning
This begins by emphasizing the certainty that all things – including trials, pains, and hardships – work together for good. This does not necessarily mean that things will be easy or without struggle, but rather that in all things God works for our good.
The “good” that Paul talks about isn’t earthly comfort but rather is defined by being molded into the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). The verse also identifies those who are beneficiaries of this promise – “those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” This further qualifies the “good” to be understood in terms of fulfillment of God’s purposes and demonstrated love for Him.
