| dc.description.abstract | This research focuses on the interpretation based on an exegetical analysis of the text to discover the text's original intended meaning by the author. The analysis of the text is to discover the original intended meaning by the author for the first readers. To verify the concept of the original meaning intended, the research considers the literary context of Romans 8:28 for its correct interpretation. “All things work together for good for those who love God” in Romans 8:28, this statement is a major concern to be considered. The grammatical-historical approach (GHA) is the model used in this research. The complex nature of words in the syntax grammatical-historical approach causes difficulty in the interpretation of a biblical text because of the distance of time and space. The most important aspect of interpretation is the original intended meaning of a text. However, the practitioners are often concerned with what suits their church tradition and philosophies, not the text’s original intended meaning. For example, when a nominal Christian is sick because of drunkenness infections, or immoral sexual diseases, pastors use Romans 8:28 to comfort the church members during terrible times. When a believer is not qualified for an appointment, he or she misses the opportunity to be appointed, and this verse is applied. Another aspect is that the verse is often used wrongly when the exegetes want to achieve his goal or her goal; he or she applies it to irrelevant situations The analysis of these two clauses “we know to them that who love God” (Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγαπῶσι τὸν θεὸν and “all things work together for good” (πάντα συνεργεῖ εἰς ἀγαθόν), the researcher desires to interpret their concept of original meaning intended. The interpretation is in light of the text 8:28 and the literary context of Romans 8:18-36. In order to avoid fallacies or inerrancy interpretation and application of the text (scriptures) on the church in our current generation and even in the generation to come is a matter of concern in this thesis. The search finding affirmed that Rom 8:28 was an encouragement and strengthening to the suffering believers to persevere. Also, the true believers' suffering brings glory to God and blessings to the church of God as predestined by God | |
