All things will work for your good
The Bible says in Romans 8:28 that “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” All things means all things – the good, the bad and the ugly! This means that not all things are from God but they will work for your good. Many mistaken this scripture to mean that everything is from God. Things like accidents, sicknesses, etcetera are not from God. They are from the devil but what this verse means is that all these things will work for your good, to those who are the called according to His purpose. That is your inheritance as God’s child.
The people of the world do not have access to this inheritance. When bad things happen to them, they don’t have a way out but you as a child of God, you have a sure way out. God can change those bad things and make them work for your good. In other words, the devil may throw everything at you, but God can take those bad things and turn them to honey for you.
It is very important for you to note that God is not behind anything bad or evil in your life. But when those things happen, know that He can make all things work together for your good. And don’t let anyone tell you that all things will work together for good only if you love God and are called according to His purpose. These two things are not conditions but descriptions of believers. Believers are those who love God because they know that God first loved them (1 John 4:19). And they are called according to His purpose for they have been born again and belong to Him.
My friend, because you have been born again, all things in your life will work together for good. This is your inheritance as a beloved child of God!
