THE BIBLE VERSE THAT ALWAYS WORKS TOGETHER FOR
GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, PUT THEIR FAITH IN GOD, AND BRING GLORY TO HIS NAME
(Romans 8:28) "And
we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to his purpose."

GREAT THINGS CONCERNING THE FAITH OF A CHRISTIAN THAT WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD
AND BRING GLORY TO GOD
1. THE TRIALS OF YOUR FAITH IN GOD WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD
TO TEST AND STRENGTHEN OUR FAITH, BRINGING GLORY AND PLEASING GOD.
(Colossians 1:10) "That
ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every
good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;"
The
strong faith of God's people always touches the heart of God.
(Hebrews 11:32–40) The Bible
teaches that the faith of Christians is much more precious than gold.
(1 Peter 1:7) "That
the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"
(Hebrews
11:6–8) Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of
them that diligently seek him."
Hebrews 11:7 "By
faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,
prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the
world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."
Hebrews 11:8 "By
faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after
receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he
went."
2. TALENTS RECEIVED FROM GOD AND USED IN THE MINISTRY OF
THE LORD'S WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD IN FAITHFUL SERVICE TO OUR GREAT GOD.
Believers
are equipped to serve in the ministry of the Lord effectively and fruitfully.
(Ephesians
4:11–16)
Every Christian in the local church matures to become a
blessing in the ministry through their God-given spiritual gifts.
(Romans 12:6–11) Romans 12:6
"Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,
whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;"
Romans 12:7 "Or ministry, let us wait on our
ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;"
Romans 12:8 "Or he that exhorteth, on
exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth,
with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness."
Romans 12:9 "Let love be without
dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good."
Romans 12:10 "Be kindly affectioned one to
another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;"
Romans 12:11 "Not slothful in business;
fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;"
3. TIME SPENT IN WINNING LOST PEOPLE WORKS TOGETHER FOR
GOOD TO REACH THE LOST AT ANY COST.
The Jerusalem Church is a great example of a
local church that dedicated time daily to winning lost souls for the Lord's
work.
(Acts 2:36–41)
Through
dedicated time spent sharing the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, 3,000 souls
were saved in a single day.
(Ephesians 5:16) "Redeeming
the time, because the days are evil."
The
Lord Jesus Christ is our prime example of devoting time to win the lost.
(John 9:4–5) John 9:4
"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night
cometh, when no man can work."
John 9:5 "As long as I am in the world, I am
the light of the world."
4. TEARS SHED IN UNCEASING PRAYER WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD
TO ASSURE GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE LORD.
The
key for the Jerusalem Church in reaching and winning multitudes was persistent
prayer with humility and tears.
(Acts 20:19–24)
Sowing
in tears assures a great harvest.
(Psalm
126:2–3) Psalm 126:2 "Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our
tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great
things for them."
Psalm 126:3 "The LORD hath done great things
for us; whereof we are glad."
5. TRAINING MORE LABOURERS FOR THE HARVEST WORKS TOGETHER
FOR GOOD TO ASSURE A GREATER HARVEST IN THE MISSION FIELD.
The
Lord Jesus Christ emphasized the great need to train more labourers for the
harvest.
Christ
challenged His disciples to lift up their eyes and look on the fields, for they
are white already to harvest.
(John 4:35)
(Luke 10:1–3)
Christ
appointed 70 soul winners and sent them out two by two into every city.
Luke 10:1 "After
these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two
before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come."
Luke 10:2 "Therefore said he unto them, The
harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord
of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."
Luke 10:3 "Go your ways: behold, I send you
forth as lambs among wolves."
Jesus
instructed His disciples to pray for more labourers.
(Matthew 9:37–38) Matthew
9:37 "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous,
but the labourers are few;"
Matthew 9:38 "Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."
6. MATERIAL TREASURES LIBERALLY GIVEN TO GOD WORK
TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF THE LORD'S MINISTRY.
Giving
reflects the concern and active support of Christians for the work of the Lord.
Believers
willingly support the ministry to reach the whole world with the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
(2 Corinthians 9:6–8) 2
Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also
sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."
2 Corinthians 9:7 "Every man according as he
purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for
God loveth a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:8 "And God is able to make
all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all
things, may abound to every good work:"
God
bless you all always.
