Romans 8: 26-39                                        (S.M. p. 331; R.C.L. p. 320)
A passage which has been the source of much controversy on predestination. Paul stresses that salvation cannot be earned, but we need to read this passage whilst keeping in mind that God wishes all men to be saved.

I call you friends, says the Lord,
because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father.
