God’s love to us cannot fail any more than His love to Christ can fail.

To derive the fullest comfort and encouragement from Romans 8:28 we must realize that God is at work in a proactive, not reactive, fashion. That is, God does not just respond to an adversity in our lives to make the best of a bad situation. He knows before He initiates or permits the adversity exactly how He will use it for our good.

Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in us whereby our inner being is progressively changed, freeing us more and more from sinful traits and developing within us over time the virtues of Christlike character.

No circumstance is so big that He cannot control it.

Grace is the love of God shown to the unlovely. It is God reaching downward to people who are in rebellion against him.

God does not delight in our sufferings. He brings only that which is necessary, but He does not shrink from that which will help us grow.

God's unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the Scriptures. It is true whether we believe it or not. Our doubts do not destroy God's love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son.
