What exactly is the promise of Romans 8:28 (the translation question)? Romans 8:28 promises that God works all things together for the good of His people. Different translations emphasize either "all things work together for good" or "God causes all things to work together for good," but both affirm that God is actively involved. He is the one orchestrating all events for the good of His people.   To whom does God make the stunning promise of Romans 8:28?

God must be wisely omniscient. He knows all things and directs them with perfect wisdom. God must be omnipotent
