The Hardest Text to Believe: Romans 8:28 (Biblia.com)

The Hardest Text to Believe: Romans 8:28 is unavailable, but you can change that!

In this brief text, pastor F. B. Thorn shares his reflections on Romans 8:28. Writing in a warm and personal style, he unpacks the difficulty of fully believing that “God works for the good of those who love him.” He highlights and analyzes false assumptions we often hold such as “God is at the mercy of men” or “only the things that eliminate hardship and difficulty are working for our good.”

We have assumed that only the things that eliminate hardship and difficulty are working for our good. In so doing we make a serious mistake. The supreme purpose of living is not comfort and happiness. The supreme purpose of life is to do the will of God. Whether this high purpose is accompanied by ease, happiness, pain or difficulty is only incidental. Three witnesses: The Bible, history and personal experience bear testimony that there is no freedom from trouble; nor is there a utopia of happiness
