In one of the most extraordinary paragraphs in all Scripture, Paul argues God will use every difficulty, no matter how intense, for the Christian’s long-term good. This is not a promise for all—it is for the Christian only. It is, however, a promise that every trial and difficulty will be used by God to prepare the believer for future glory. The reason this promise can be believed is because God is faithful. To prove God’s faithfulness, Paul lists the several links in a chain of salvation forged in the fire of God’s love: foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and, ultimately, glorification.
