Romans 8:28-35
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
In Romans 8:28, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that everything that happens in the life of a believer works together for good. This includes difficult situations, trials, and tribulations. Paul says that those who love God are called according to His purpose and have an advantage because all things work together for their good. The believer must recognize the redemptive work of God in the midst of difficult moments and have faith that God can take any situation and bring it to a positive conclusion. The passage emphasizes the security and assurance that believers have in their salvation and their walk with Christ.

The author also discusses Paul's elaboration on God's plan of salvation, which involves foreknowing, predestining, calling, justifying, and glorifying individuals. Overall, the passage encourages faith in God's plan and trust in His ability to turn difficult situations into blessings.

There is a struggle in the church regarding the doctrine of eternal salvation, but we can have confidence in God's investment in our lives. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, and in all struggles, we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.Romans 8. Let's go to the last section. We have divided this Chapter 8 of Romans into four major sections, each of them very, very dense, very complex and with many, many very deep truths that complete our understanding of the plan of salvation for the church.
