Where you find this verse
From this verse, the Word reaches
The same threadRomans 8:28
Paul states the same principle for every believer: God works all things, even evil things, together for good.
“We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.”
A pattern ofActs 2:23
At the cross the pattern repeats: lawless men did the wicked deed by God's determined counsel and foreknowledge.
“him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;”
That reaches back to this verse
In parallel with (this verse)Romans 8:28
You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good: the same sovereign working.
“We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.”
