And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 ESV)
"Nothing can blow you over when you are inside the walls of
Romans 8:28. Outside Romans 8:28 all is confusion and anxiety and fear and
uncertainty. Outside this promise of all-encompassing future Grace there are
straw houses of drugs and alcohol and numbing TV and dozens of feudal
diversions there are slat walls and tin roofs of fragile investment strategies
and fleeting insurance coverage and trivial retirement plans. There are
cardboard fortifications of deadbolt locks and alarm systems and anti-ballistic
missiles outside our thousand substitutes for Romans 8:28. Once you walk
through the door of love and the massive, unshakable structure of Romans 8:28
everything changes."
-John Piper; Future Grace
