Romans 8:37 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us"
There is so much in this one verse that I could literally write a book..and I'm sure someone has! I want to focus though on who you are as a believer...because of Jesus. He has made you More Than A Conqueror! If you begin to read the verses leading up to, and following this verse, you will not only be amazed, you will be encouraged. The word of God is ALIVE with hope!
What was Paul referring to when he said that we are more than a conqueror "in all these things" ? I believe he was literally saying that in whatever you may be going through in your life, you are MORE than a conqueror because it is impossible for us to be separated from Christ in any way! A conqueror is someone who wins...someone who is victorious..someone who is a champion. This is how God sees you! When you are facing tribulation, when you are feeling distressed by the situation you may be in, when you have been persecuted, when you have experienced hunger, lack, or even threats of any kind, your God is on your side! He is for you! So I ask you...who or what, can come against you...when nothing, Nothing, NOTHING can separate you from His love! Death cannot separate you from His love. Nothing in life can separate you from His love. Nothing angelic or demonic can separate you from His love. Nothing today and nothing tomorrow can separate you from His love...
Beloved, it may at times not FEEL like you are more than a conqueror. But the word of God is alive and powerful. It overrides those feelings of doubt and despair. It gives us something to stand on that is never shaky. When suffering comes, don't let it drive you away from God..but allow His love to penetrate your heart, knowing that it is because of that love, and the fact that He IS love, and lives IN you..that you are MORE than a conqueror! You will never look at hardship in the same way if you are standing on the solid ground of the word of God!
