# Romans 8:28 Explanation **Romans 8:28** states: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (NIV). In context, Paul is assuring believers that despite present suffering (mentioned earlier in the chapter), God sovereignly orchestrates all circumstances—both good and bad—to ultimately benefit those who are in Christ. This promise is grounded not in circumstances themselves being good, but in God's faithful commitment to conform believers to the image of His Son (v. 29) and complete their salvation.
