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: Steve you forget the last part of this passage. To whose who are called according to His purpose. If God is supreme, if God is sovereign, then we also have to yield to his purpose. Evidently all those bad things you listed served God’s purpose, maybe not ours, but certainly God’s. Since God is supreme should we then even question Him? |
