When looking at the world, full of sin and evils that people cannot fathom until they hear about it in the news, it can be difficult to understand the goodness of God. Not only do believers struggle with this apparent contradiction, many walk away from the faith or point to this truth as a reason to not believe in the existence of God. During the days of the early church, when Christians were experiencing persecution, they probably felt the same way sometimes.
Many believers paraphrase this verse to say “God works all things out for our good and for His glory.”
The life of Joseph:
The life of Naomi:
David’s sin with Bathsheba:
The Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Christians should take comfort in the promises of God, assurance that sometimes suffering is redeemed in this life, and that ultimately, God’s justice will prevail. When it is too difficult to see God’s hand, pray, and the Holy Spirit will bring comfort and peace.
