"ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD"
I am presenting a short version of Bible Text (Romans 8:28). However, allow me to reflect on the need of Bible Hermeneutics (Interpretation) and Exegesis (Critical Analysis) of a specific text! We compare the text and context of the specific text with the surrounding texts and contexts (above and beneath); we compare it with the Chapter, the Book, and the entire BIBLE. If any interpretation is not aligned with the entire Bible context, it is called out of context! Yet! Let us not forget the most important: the Holy Spirit's Guidance, Meditation, Prayer, and Revelation! I am sure you know that, but it is for those which may not! With that being said, allow me to share!
Since I have done the work, I will explain my discovery and interpretation! We must understand that the Plan is GOD'S and everything that happens whether we see it as good or bad fulfills HIS PURPOSE!
Believers must look through the lens of GOD to grasp the significance of rejecting the lower-self and receiving the higher wrought through the life, suffering, and death of CHRIST! CHRIST is our example of suffering and remaining faithful to GOD! It is our desire to leave these frail fleshly bodies, as CHRIST, to put on our "Glorified Bodies" which is given to each born-again believer which holds on until our change or transition encapsulate us!
Therefore, "all things work together for good..." speaks to believers perspective looking through the eyes of GOD! Thus, we know we must expect and experience test, trails, mistreatment, and even death, but it all works toward GOD'S Plan and Purpose to bring us Home to spend Eternal Life with Him! If we understand, then we may have to say bye to love ones, accept deceit, be mistreated, or disassociations! Yet, "we shall let nothing separate us from the love of GOD which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!"
The Saints are the called according to HIS PURPOSE! A Greater Day is Coming! The Bible teaches,
"All things work" - my pain, suffering, and tears working for GOD'S GOOD and my release from the Old Life...
1 Cor. 2:9 (KJV): "...Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." Blessings!
