The Things that Work Together for Good

Allen Daniels read from the last half of Romans chapter 8 and spoke about the Things that Work Together for Good and that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Referenced Scriptures: [Rom 7:24, Rom 6:23, Psalm 51]

Rom 8:28-31  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
