How does God work all things for the good of His elect?
Answered in 1 source
God orchestrates every event for the good of His elect according to His divine purpose.
Scripture teaches that God is sovereignly at work in every aspect of creation, meticulously arranging events to fulfill His divine purpose, specifically for the good of His elect. Romans 8:28 underscores this truth, stating that 'all things work together for good to them that love God.' God not only allows events to unfold but actively governs them, ensuring that every trial and blessing serves His ultimate goal of conforming His elect to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). This means that for the believer, even trials and struggles can be seen as instruments of God's grace, leading to spiritual growth and deeper dependence on Him. It is through this divine orchestration—culminating in the promise of glorification—that believers are assured of their everlasting salvation and God's faithfulness.
