Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God—those whom he has called according to his plan.
Romans 8:28 is Paul’s declaration that God is actively and intentionally weaving every circumstance—good or painful—into a purposeful outcome for His people.
This verse comes with a promise. This is a covenant promise, not a universal promise.
It belongs to God’s children—those in relationship with Him and aligned with His calling. Let’s make it clear, everyone is not entitled to the promise within this verse. Paul gives two qualifiers: those who love God, and those who are called according to His purpose.
The point is this: God delivers the person who is positioned in Christ and who lives a pure and holy life. The person who truly loves God and is living a godly life is the person who experiences all things being worked out for his good. It is the godly person who loves God that will be delivered from the struggling and suffering of this corrupt world.
Think about it for a moment, for it is the only reasonable conclusion. If a man does not love God—does not place his life into the hands of God—how can God take care of Him? If the man turns his back and walks away from God, how can God look after him? God is not going to force His care upon any of us. He is not going to make mechanical robots out of us, forcing us to live at His beck and call. Such is not love; it is only mechanical behavior. What God wants is love that flows from a heart that chooses to love Him. The choice is ours: we either turn our lives over to Him in love, or we continue to take our lives into our own hands.
IT’S YOUR CHOICE, MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
