The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 6: Limited Wills: God Works Out All Things for Good

God Works Out All Things for Good

                This is why Ephesians 1:11 says, “In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.”  Romans 8:28 also says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” 

                Therefore, it should be a comfort to all Christians that God has EVERYTHING planned out.  NOTHING surprises God.  God has been, from the beginning of time, working all things out for the good of those who will accept Him as Lord over all things.  For those who, by their own free will, will serve Him and honor Him, God has planned your futures out so that you will be blessed forever. 

                This is why the true Christian fights so hard to convince people to serve God and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.  We want ALL who we know to accept Christ and have “all things work together for good” for them.  We don’t want anyone to reject Christ and therefore lose out on this.  We don’t want those we know and love to suffer hardship and have a bad end.  We want them to choose Christ.
