MORE THAN OVERCOMERS

Romans 8:28 (NLT)

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”

Yes, God does work in “everything” for our good not some isolated incidents. As believer we are not left to our own resources to cope with problems, even when praying for when we do not even know the words to say when we pray the Holy Spirit prays with and for us.

Now this does not mean that only good things happen to us. Evil is prevalent in our fallen world however God is able to turn everything single circumstance around for our long-range good. God is not working to make us happy but to fulfill his purpose.

Also God's promise is not for everybody, it can only be claimed by those who love Him and are called by Him, meaning, those that have been convinced by the Holy Spirit to receive Jesus Christ. Those of us that receive Christ have a new perspective, and a new mind-set. We trust in God not some worldly treasures, our security is in heaven, not on earth. Our faith in God can never waver in pain and persecution because we know that God is with us, thus we become more like Christ at which point we become more than just overcomers.
