How do we know that God works all things for good?

Answered in 16 sources

We know that God works all things for good because He has sovereignly called His people and promised their ultimate good as referenced in Scripture.

The assurance that God works all things for good comes from His sovereign will and purpose. Romans 8:28 explicitly connects the good outcome to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. This understanding is rooted in the belief that God's sovereignty ensures that everything aligns for the benefit of His elect. True believers can rest in this promise because it is grounded in their salvation experience and faith in Christ. The calling of God, which brings regeneration, equips believers to grasp this truth, enriching their faith even amid trials and suffering.
