God's Sovereign Love for You


What’s your favorite promise in the Bible?
For many, it would be Romans 8:28. “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good.” It calms a thousand fears, comforts a thousand pains, and yet raises a thousand questions.
What does “good” mean?
Who really loves God?
How does God work?
