Romans 8:28 “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God-those whom he has called according to his plan.”

God has called us, who love Him, into His loving plan of redemption. The “good” for which all things in our life work together has eternal consequences. We are separated from sin and darkness, weaned from the world, united with Christ, conformed to His image, renewed by His truth in our minds, transformed in our hearts, inspired to love, motivated to action for Him, held by His grace, redeemed by His mercy and carried into glory. What cause for hope!
