“And we know that all
things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are
called according to His purpose.“
This promise is to
whom? “To them that love God”, right.
To them that love God
is also “them who are called according to His purpose.”
They are the same
people. And God called them “according
to His purpose”, because they love God.
If they did not love
God, they would not be called according to His purpose, because they, (those
who do not love God) do not pursue life according to His purpose.
Does that make sense
so far?
Let’s read it again
and move on.
Romans 8:28-30, “And we know that all
things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are
called according to His purpose. “
Verse 29 “For whom He
did foreknow...” Just stop here for a
moment.
Please let this truth
sink deep and settle in - “For whom He did foreknow”. This is a great truth about God. God didn’t leave it to chance that you and I
would come to know Him. God did not
leave it to chance that His children would pursue the purpose for which
He purposed for them.
If God had left to
chance, that you and I would come to Him and find our way, without having
foreknown what we would do, we would be at the mercy of our own ability and
intellect to accomplish any thing.
The skeptics and
unbelievers, the agnostic and the atheist all live out their existence without
pursuing what God ordained for them.
They are convinced that their pursuits, based upon their own ability and
intellect alone, fulfills their purpose in life.
What a waste. What a travesty. What a loss."
