God Works All Things for Good: The Heart of God in Us Romans 8:28
Romans 8:28 is a deep promise, not a shallow slogan. In the original Greek, in its real context, Paul is talking about the heart of God, the Holy Spirit inside us, and how God is forming us into true sons and daughters who see the world like Jesus. This is where God works all things for good becomes more than a comfort phrase. It becomes the story of our whole life, and even our eternity.
