S4 Ep17 Putting Romans 8:28 into Death/Resurrection Context (An Abused Verse)

Romans 8:28 is yet another verse too often ripped from its context and willy-nilly applied to every believer in every age for any purpose. The great doctrine of the undoing of the curse in resurrection is once again missed.

A dangerous result of the false hope derived from this verse wrongly divided trumpeted from the pulpits of Christendom is the loss of faith of countless seekers. Just as believers are thrust into doubting either their own salvation or the faithfulness of God when they don't see God providing them the "future and hope" robbed from Israel in Jeremiah 29, so too is it with the misapplication of Romans 8:28.

The good, my brothers and sisters, is the hope of the resurrection. And there is nothing that can stop the redemption of the body of the believer or the redemption of the very heavens and earth. All things are marching towards that end.

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.”
