Romans 8:28

I heard something interesting in church Sunday... One of the teachers in the adult classes pointed out that the promise in Romans 8:28 appears to be conditional, 'for those who love God.'

He then asked how we know who loves God, and for an answer reminded us of Jesus words that those who love God are those who obey him. In effect, he was warning us that if we're choosing not to live in obedience to God's ways, we cannot expect that 'everything will work for our good.'

I'm still processing that one! It's a new concept, but seems biblically sound.
