ALL THINGS ARE FOR OUR GOOD

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who
love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Hebrew 12:7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons.
For what son is there whom the father does not discipline?

We should believe that everything that passes through God's hand is good. Our circumstances
are arranged by God and are there for our benefit. Every environmental arrangement is for
our benefit; it deals with the strong points in our natural life. We hope that God will not need
to use twenty years to deal with us. But unfortunately, some people do not learn the lesson
even after twenty years. Although some people have been tested and disciplined, they never
advance; it is a pity that their flesh is never touched or weakened, and they are still scheming
and supplanting.

Brothers and sisters, we should not complain that God's hand is too heavy. God knows what
He is doing. Originally, Jacob was a merciless person, but after he was disciplined by God, he
became a kind and loving person in his old age. May we see that all our experiences in our
environments are measured one by one by the Holy Spirit according to our need. No
experience comes to us by accident. All the experiences we encounter are arranged
by the Holy Spirit and are there to edify us. While we are passing through these
disciplines and trials, we may not feel joyful or comfortable, but they are all
part of God's work in us. Afterwards, we will realize that these experiences
were all for our benefit.

NOTHING SEPARATING US FROM THE

LOVE OF GOD

Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or
anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
(37) But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us.
(38) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities
nor things present nor things to come nor powers
(39) Nor height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We are not defeated; we more than conquer because God loves us. Why does God care so
much for us and do so many things for us? Simply because we are His beloved. No one can
separate us from His love. Once He loves us, He loves us forever with an eternal love. Nothing
can separate us from Him. Because He loves us and because we are His beloved, sooner or
later we all shall be sanctified, transformed, conformed, and glorified.
Paul touched upon this love in 5:8 when he said that “God commends His own love to us
in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” When we believed in Jesus, the
Holy Spirit poured out God's love into our hearts (5:5). Paul was persuaded that nothing can
separate us from the love of God because he knew that this love does not derive from nor
depend upon us, but upon God Himself. This love was not initiated by us; it was initiated by
God in eternity. Because of this Paul could say that we conquer in all things. Paul was
convinced that nothing can “separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.”
