Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
All this, to say this.
Rom 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.
First we must be an adopted son or child of God. We must be led by the Spirit of God and if and when we suffer, we still belong to God and we can know that all things work together for good, for we are called according to his purpose. If we are led by the Spirit our sufferings will not be to complain in the flesh, but in all things we are to give thanks to the LORD.
