The Book of Romans, Part 66: What Things? Part 1 (Rom. 8:28-31)

Summary

Pastor Chris McCoo explains Romans 8:28-31, emphasizing that 'all things' refers to those working for the good of God's elect, not all events without exception. He highlights the five key aspects of salvation: foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification, stressing that these apply to people, not things. The sermon clarifies that God's foreknowledge is active and loving, predestining believers to be conformed to Christ's image, and counters common misunderstandings of election and free will. The message underscores the gospel as the good news of what Jesus has done, focusing on God's sovereign grace rather than human effort.
