AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:28 ¶ And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. |
Bible Question:
For how God causes all things to work together for good when ... -a young child by a drunken driver? -a mother is dying in agony with cancer? -Christians are tortured, made slaves, killed, etc. for their faith? |
Bible Answer: All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord. -that young child is in heaven -if that mother loves God she can minister to others by showing that no matter what she will not forsake God -christians who are tortured or made slaves can rest assured in Matthew 5:10 which promises a blessing to all who are persecuted. Even when we see no way that things can turn out for the good, Isaiah reminds us that God's Ways are higher than ours. |
