How do we know that all things work together for good?

Answered in 44 sources

We know all things work together for good because God is sovereignly orchestrating events for those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

In Romans 8:28, it is stated, '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.' This assurance comes from understanding that God's sovereignty and eternal plans encompass our lives. His foreknowledge and predestination ensure that even our trials serve a greater purpose in conforming us to the image of Christ. Every event is infused with meaning and directed toward our ultimate good, affirming the faithfulness of God.
