Does God Work For Us or With Us? | Romans

Romans 8:28 is a classic verse, rich in theological meaning. But depending on how it is translated, the emphasis changes. Prof. Wright considers the difference between God only working on our behalf, and God working together with us to establish New Creation.

The immediate context of Romans 8:28 is the prayer life of Christians in response to the darkness of the world. Attention to God’s working with humanity leads to a Trinitarian theology of prayer. God gives us God’s Spirit so that by our wrestling through the world’s travails with the Spirit, we may become part of God’s ongoing work in the world.
