     | 12,094 views

They would stop at nothing to do so. Within the context of this verse, various groups ask Him ...read more

    When Paul writes "for those who love God all things work together for good," he writes to encourage Christians not to be discouraged by trials. "All things" urges us to look beyond the moment to see the glory that is to be revealed.
