To whom do all things work together for good?

The promise that all things work together for good is expressly directed towards two groups: those who love God and those who are called according to His purpose. Those who love God are identified through their obedience to His commandments and their wholehearted devotion to His will, as outlined in Deuteronomy 6:5 and echoed throughout Scripture. Furthermore, the second group, the called, refers to those whom God has predestined for salvation, affirming their place in His eternal plan. This dual qualification is vital to understanding the scope of this promise.
