Greta Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 God's promise is that in all things He works for the good of those who love Him and have been called to His purpose. It means that whatever happens in our lives, (good or bad), God will bring it all together so that it will be for our ultimate good. eg) Something really awful may have happened in our lives, but by learning to cope with it God changes us inside, and later we are able to help many other people going through the same kind of problem. The two qualifications for receiving this promise are that we must love the Lord and we must acknowledge Him as Lord and Saviour and be obedient to Him. Verse 28 gives me hope because it shows me God is in control and that whatever happens in my life, He will use it as part of His Master Plan to bring glory to Himself. God bless, Love from Greta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaps Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Q1. (Romans 8:28) What is the actual promise contained in verse 28? What does this promise mean? Put it in your own words. What are the two qualifications to the recipients of this promise? How does verse 28 give you hope? The Promise All things are worked together for good to those who respond to the call of Christ Jesus. The meaning of the Promise From the discussion I'd perhaps translate the passage in the above words, so that 'all things' become the subject of God's work for those who respond to His invitation. This is an amazing power that God uses on behalf of His chosen people, that everything, even that which is purposed against us, is turned to creative, positive, beneficial advantage. We live in the middle of a great tsunami of love, and when the waves get rough the power of love is more greatly displayed. How fantastic it is to know this when life seems unmanageable! There is no such thing as unmanageable with our God. There is only benefit. Though we go through the valley of the shadow of death, we go with God, whose rod and staff comfort us there, and we know that we face an abundant table upon which our cup runs over, that goodness and mercy follow in our train, there is nothing to fear and boldness is our pathway, and we live eternally in the very presence of God. All this makes the valley of the shadow of death almost desirable! Certainly we cannot experience many of God's more advanced blessings, or Christian maturation, except by going through it with Him. In fact, to this we are committed by the taking of communion so that we enter into His death and resurrection. To put it in my own words, I might say "There is no evil on the face of this earth that will not bring benefit for the one whose trust is in the Most High God." The greatest thing available to us on the face of this earth is the knowledge of God, and of His Son, Jesus Christ, and the intimacy of His presence and love. Going through any life circumstance with Him will only strengthen the relationship of trust that we have with Him, the power of love expressed in our lives, the power of truth to set us free of the shackles of our carnal nature and send us flying into the high reaches of the eagles that rise on the wind of the Spirit. Recipient Qualifications 1. Recipients are called into the purpose of God 2. Responsive to that call by full immersion into the purposes of God. How does v28 bring hope? Verse 28 has always been the certainty that breeds hope when none is visible, life when death surrounds, joy when misery is in flood, strength when there seems no carpet under my feet. It is so good to be certain that God has all knowledge of every tiny detail, and that as Joseph suffered for good in Egypt, so all the trials of God's children will bear stunning fruit, for we are in Christ Jesus, both in His death and in His resurrection, by His mercy and grace.

emmaus Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 When we have heard God's call and answered it by loving and obeying him, we can trust God to work things out for our good. The two qualifications are that we must have accepted God as our savior and love him. God is in my life every day but when things are going wrong and there's nothing more that I can do but sit and worry, I won't do that. That's when I get in the Bible and study hard. I know that everything is going to work out if I just trust in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iam4-1god Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Q1. (Romans 8:28) What is the actual promise contained in verse 28? What does this promise mean? Put it in your own words. What are the two qualifications to the recipients of this promise? How does verse 28 give you hope? This is what I get out of the verse. God knows who already is His, and who will come to Him in the future. So-He has us covered, either way! So when I am going through a tough time, or when something bad happens to me, I only need remember that God is working things out for me, to His glory! Knowing that God is looking out for me, and protecting me-well folks, it just don't get any better than that! Just know that in order to qualify for this, we have to be saved, or accept Jesus as our savior, and our hearts must be right, or, in other words, confess daily (or more often if needed ) our sins. God can not be in the presence of sin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l.a. Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think that the promise means that whatever we do to screw up our lives, we can come back under God's grace with a repentent heart and God will, miracuously, draw some good out of our mess. We are told the good news that all things will work together for those who love God and those who choose to pursue His call on their life.

This promise is to those who were called and accepted that calling from the Lord...the saved. For me this helps to get me through the times of hardship.

poetmom Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 It gives me hope knowing that whatever trial I'm going through now, it is just one small part of the big picture of God's plan. When I am in the midst of it, it is often hard to realize. For example. I am going through some significant parenting challenges these days. This passage is helping me keep the perspective that this challenge is going to work together for the good with everything else in my life and my daughter's life. Perhaps we will both become better problem-solvers. Perhaps I am becoming equipped to support other parents in the future. I just have to remember that every day of my life and every choice I make is a part of God's larger purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This verse is really comforting to me as I have been struggling with a sense of alienation from God in the past few days. God's love speaks and comforts in His Words!
