God did not say that! (Part 2)
All things work together for good.
Romans 8:28
1. Understanding the verse.
It is directed to those who love God (His standard).
It is directed to those who are called according to His purpose.
God is glorified through our obedience, and we benefit from our obedience.
2. An Old Testament Example
Genesis 41:39-40, Genesis 50:20
Big Picture: God would redeem humankind through Jesus.
How God worked it out: Judah sold Joseph, Joseph saved Judah, his lineage continued, and the Messiah came.
3. A New Testament Example
2 Corinthians 11:24-27, Philippians 1:12-14
Big Picture: We will be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
How God worked it out: God provided His Spirit to empower His church, and He saved Paul to reach the Gentiles.
As long as I have breath, I live for Christ!
