Romans 8:28-30
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

God is faithful to preserve His saints. We who are His, called out by His design and reasons, are in God’s good and mighty hand to bring us through to the end. He put His design for us in place, knowing the good He would work in us and the love with which we would respond. More than this, He designed that we should be transformed into the image of Christ. So He designed us, called us, justified us in Christ by faith, and glorified us in Him and forever. So He worked all these things for good - both ours and His. His glory is the greater good, and our sharing of it the lesser, but it is all His work for His glory in grace and mercy. Hallelujah!
