This is one of the most quoted and comforting verses in the entire Bible. In all things means that even through trials, suffering, and bad times God is working for the good of those covered by this verse. Those that are covered are those who love God and have been called by God for his purpose. These people are the children of God. They are his Saints.
This
purpose does not necessarily mean health, wealth, and worldly happiness. It does mean that God has a plan of service
for all Saints, but it may include suffering, hardship, and even martyrdom. Therefore, even the suffering and death of
an individual Saint can work for the good of other Saints. Just as Jesus Christ’s suffering and dying
on the cross brought good for every single Saint in the history of the world,
the suffering of a single Saint can be used by God to bring good for many
Saints.
It is a comfort for Saints to trust in the fact that no matter what happens, all things work for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose.
