INTRODUCTION TO Romans 8 As the former chapter shows that sanctified ones are not free from the being of sin in them, which is a ground of general complaint and uneasiness; this chapter shows, that justified ones are freed from the guilt of sin, and secure from punishment for it; and have the utmost reason to rejoice and be glad, and even to triumph in a plerophory and full assurance of faith, on...

<Ver. 28. And we know that all things work together for good,.... There is a temporal good, and a spiritual good, and an eternal one. Temporal good is what the men of the world are seeking after, and generally have the greatest share of, and the saints the least; and yet they have as much as is needful for them, and what they have, they have with a blessing; and even sometimes afflictions work...
Matthew Henry
The apostle, having fully explained the doctrine of justification, and pressed the necessity of sanctification, in this chapter applies himself to the consolation of the Lord's people. Ministers are helpers of the joy of the saints. "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people," so runs our commission, Isa. xl. 1. It is the will of God that his people should be a comforted people. And we have here such a...

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. And you know that he is the first-born in this sense — not only as the greatest, but that as the first-begotten from among the...

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it? Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth...

And we know This is not a matter of opinion. This is scarcely a matter of faith. “We know.” We are sure of it. We have proved it. Rom_8:28. That all things work together for good to them that love God, They all work. They work in harmony. They work for one purpose. That purpose is for good. Rom_8:28. To them who are the called according to his purpose. That is their private character, which God...

And we know – Now we are getting upon a dear old passage which reads like music. There is no eloquence in the world that ever touches the eloquence of the Apostle here. Rom_8:28. That all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. I do not like to hear this text quoted, as I often do, only in part — only half of it. “All things work...

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them...

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, “All things.” That is a very comprehensive expression, is it not? It includes your present trouble, your aching head, your heavy heart: “all things.” “All things work.” There is nothing idle in God’s domain. “All things work together.” There is no discord in the providence of God. The strangest ingredients go to make up the...

And we know— Paul, like John, was no agnostic; he did not even say, “We think, we imagine, we suppose.” No; “ we know”— Rom_8:28. That all things work together for good— We must not stop there, otherwise the statement will not be true, for all things do not work together for good to all men, but only— Rom_8:28. To them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. How are we...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, Not yet “all mankind,” but these who “love God.” Rom_8:28. To them who are the called according to his purpose. For they would never have loved God if he had not called them to it, and had not purposed to call them.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And we know We know: we are sure of it. Rom_8:28. That all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. We know this, for we have proved it in our own experience. “All things work.” There is nothing inactive in the providence of God. “All things work together.” There is a unity in providence. God sets one thing over against another....

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Almost everything in this world looks to us to be in confusion, but to God’s eye all is in order. One wave dashes this way, and another that, but they are all working together, and they are all working with one great purpose too. Say not, Christian, “All these things are...
