“More Than Conquerors”
Friday, May 17, 2024Key Verse
“Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” (Romans 8:37).
Text — Romans 8:35-39
Message
To conquer is to be victorious over an adversary. To be “more than a conqueror” means we not only achieve victory, but we are overwhelmingly victorious. If the final score of a basketball game is 142 – 6, we know that the opposition put up a fight, but they were no match for the victors. The win was beyond the scope of a regular victory.
There are many cases in the Old Testament in which God brought miraculous victory to His people, Israel. Humanly speaking, Israel was no match for their enemies. But God cautioned them not to be afraid, that He would fight their battles for them (Exodus 14:14). Satan is our adversary. He sends all kinds of missiles against God’s children. Many of those attacks are listed in Romans 8:35–39. Paul encourages us to stand firm in our faith, reminding us of our present and ultimate victory through Jesus Christ. Definitely, Satan cannot separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. However ensure that you are a child of God to enjoy His care.
