God Is For Us

Pastor Akin preached that Christians are safe and secure in the love of God, using Romans 8:28-39 as his text. He explained that this security comes from three main sources: being guided by God's promise, guarded by God's power, and grounded in God's purpose. The pastor emphasized that God's promise in verse 28 that "all things work together for good" is confident, comprehensive, comforting, chosen for believers, clear in purpose, and complete. He illustrated how God uses both good and bad circumstances to conform Christians to the image of Jesus, drawing on the example of Joseph from Genesis. The sermon stressed that no matter what happens in life - job loss, illness, or other trials - believers can have confidence because God is for them and nothing can separate them from His love.
