Romans 8:28

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. - Romans 8:28

Loyalty pretty much sums up Romans 8:28,

does this verse mean that because we love God that only good will come?

no, not at all...

the verse means those who love God are loyal to God,

and they realize that all things work out in the end for good.

When trouble and sufferings come, and they will come,

those who love God understand that no matter the circumstance,

no matter what happens, trusting and putting their faith in God

is most important. Our Loyalty should be unshakable, all things we know

are possible through God, what is more important then your relationship with Christ? Why, how rather, could you let any trouble come between it?
When bad circumstances come it’s not ‘Why me?’ it’s should be more

like ‘Why not me?’. Put your trust in God, have unshakable faith

that everything happens for a reason and nothing can detour Gods will.

We will be loyal to work, to service, to anything,

but do not ask us to be loyal to Jesus Christ.

Many Christians are intensely impatient of

talking about loyalty to Jesus.

Our Lord is dethroned more emphatically by Christian workers

than by the world. God is made a machine for blessing men,

and Jesus Christ is made a Worker among workers.

The idea is not that we do work for God,

but that we are so loyal to Him that He can do His work through us -

"I reckon on you for extreme service, with no complaining on your part and no explanation on Mine."

God wants to use us as He used His own Son.

It's easy to get into the mode of

"I'm so loyal to Christ, look at what I do for him."

But that is not of Christ at all,What good is in us really?

the only good in us is Christ himself through the Holy Spirit.

Any credit, any thanks for work that you say you do for God

should go to God not your self.

Stop trying to be pious and Holy and BE pious and Holy...

The more you try to be pious and Holy the more you will fail...

the only way to be pious and Holy is through Christ,

so stop trying to be something and let Christ Be it through you!

Stop trying to mold the clay and let God be the molder without

any interference on your part!

Be what you were always meant to be, we were not Created to

live as we have lived since Adam, we were created to be Holy

and in Gods presence, yet we are far from it because of Sin...

but if you deny that you can be changed, if you deny that you can be made Holy,

then you deny the power of God, you deny what was done for you

on the cross and through the Son.
