Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Romans 8:28

DISCOURSE: 1877ALL THINGS WORK FOR GOODRomans 8:28. We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.TRUE believers have the greatest encouragement to draw nigh to God; they have supernatural assistance when pouring out their hearts before him, and are assured by God himself that their prayers shall be heard; yet, sometimes, like the Israelites in Egypt, the more they renew their requests, the more they find their burthens... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-39

Let's turn to the eighth chapter of Romans. Fasten your seatbelts as we take off.In the seventh chapter of the book of Romans, Paul has come to the realization that the law is spiritual. While he was a Pharisee he thought of the law as physical, intended to control man's outward actions. But when he came to the realization that the law was spiritual, then he realized that the law actually condemned him to death because, though he had physically kept the law, spiritually he had violated it.So he... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 8:1-39

The first four verses of this chapter belong to the preseding one, and deduce the just conclusions therefrom, that the state of fallen man is a state of condemnation and legal bondage that he cannot extricate himself by any unavailing efforts of legal obedience that God has done for us by Jesus Christ what we could not do for ourselves that this liberation is obtained by union with Christ, which exempts us from condemnation and that those who are thus united to him, walk not after the flesh,... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Romans 8:28

Romans 8:28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. All things work together for good to them that love GodI. It is abundantly obvious of many a single adversity--that a great and permanent good may come out of it. This is often verified, as when the disease brought on by intemperance has germinated; and the loss by a daring speculation has checked the adventurer, and turned him into the way of safe though moderate prosperity. Apart from Christianity, man has... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Romans 8:28

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. Ver. 28. All things work together ] Not affliction only (as some would here restrain it), but sin, Satan, all. Venenum aliquando pro remedio fuit, saith Seneca. Medici pedes et alas cantharidis, cum sit ipsa mortifera, prodesse dicunt. The drinking of that wine wherein a viper hath, been drowned cureth the leprosy. The scorpion healeth his own wounds, and the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:26-30

4. Gracious aids, through the Divinely Foreseen and Accomplished Stages, to the Final Glorification , Romans 8:26-30 . The emphatic passage is Romans 8:29-30, and for it the previous verses prepare. The gracious aids are the helping Spirit, (Romans 8:26,) the concurrence of the Heart-searcher, (Romans 8:27,) and all things in cooperation, (Romans 8:28;) resulting in the final successive stages, (Romans 8:29-30.) read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:28

28. All things Not only does the Spirit work in and for us, but when he works all things else cooperate. As the whole creation groaneth together waiting for the renovation of God’s sons, so the whole co-worketh to that glorious consummation. Love God And just so far and just so long as they love God. Just so far as their love to God is diminished and sin is committed, just so far is the working of all things lessened and doubtful; and when their love to God ceases, the co-working for... read more
