Romans 8:28-30
Romans 8:28-30 ESV<br/>
<br/>
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and UH those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.<br/>
<br/>
Rev. Charles Han<br/>
<br/>
What is promised<br/>
<br/>
God is sovereign over all things.
He works all things for good.
He is in control of the worst things in our lives and those things that come out of us.<br/>
<br/>
It means that God can make great things from bad things in our lives.
It also means that if we change things from our lives, we make it less than what God desires. We make things worse.<br/>
<br/>
When God brings suffering, He will use it. It will become useful, as much as it is hard to see while we are in the midst of it.<br/>
<br/>
For what people<br/>
<br/>
For His children. Those who love Him. Not just those who love maturely, perfectly, or even well. But those whose hearts are turned to Him.<br/>
<br/>
For their everlasting holiness. To be conformed to the image of His son. The purpose of these things is not just getting things the way we want. It is not for our comfort. It is so we become more like Jesus. We become more like Him in serving, forgiveness, love, etc.<br/>
<br/>
<b>For what purpose</b><br/>
<br/>
Even in sin failures, God can grow us. He can use failings in other areas to grow us spiritually in another. He even allows sin so that we would cling and continue to walk with Him.<br/>
<br/>
<b>Application</b><br/>
<br/>
Hope: God is fulfilling His good purpose through our worst trials and failures.<br/>
<br/>
Persevere: This wonderful assurance of glorification is meant to empower you to pursue holiness, not become passive about it.<br/>
