And We Know-

[RonnyTX]

"28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:28,39

Ronny to Eaglesway:
True. :-)

And one of my favorite scripture verses,has to be Romans 8:28. :-) "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."  For it was 19 years ago now,when one night I was despairing over something and a thought about suicide, came into my mind;but just as soon as it did,God replaced that thought,with Romans 8:28. :-) And I immediately knew,was reminded of the fact,that no matter what,everything was going to be OK! :-)

Yes, how true Ronny.

Rom 8:28 ist is a beautiful and uplifting scripture.

I especially like the Rotherham Emphasised bible translation:

Rotherham -  We know, further, that, unto them who love God, God causeth all things to work together for good,—unto them who, according to purpose, are such as he hath called;

Also the concordant literal version is real good.

These translations put the emphasis on GOD.
