Description: |
'But we know that [to] the
ones loving God all things work together for good, [to] those being called
according to purpose'' - Romans 8:28 This delectable book is an exposition
of that verse, not neglecting the last phrase (as so many are apt to do).
This is no pop treatment to pat the back of all professing Christians. It
is a serious consideration of all things that go into making everything
work together for good. This starts with the attributes of God, His
promises and mercies, the graces of the Spirit, the intercession of
Christ, etc. A key to understanding why and how things work together for
good to ''the ones loving God'' lies in recognizing that all things begin
with God's eternal decrees. Literally everything that happens was first
decreed. For it is written, ''in whom we also have been chosen to an
inheritance, being predestinated according to [the] purpose of the [One]
working all things according to the counsel of His own will.'' (Ephesians
1:11) Watson lays out the evils of affliction, temptation, desertion, and
sin, and how and why God makes these things work out to the good of the
saints. Watson also excels in fixing just what a loving God means, and
what it means to love God.
