Romans 8:31-39 – 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
As human and fallen humans at that, we get confused about what is victory. We concentrate on this world and what happens here. We are conquerors in the overall picture that matters.
Romans 8:37-37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
This world is short and temporary. When we got saved, we got saved from the death that each and every person was going to have endure had not God shed His blood for us. A stated in earlier posts, we are conquerors because He is the conqueror. It says we are conquerors through HIM, our Lord. He does love us. God is love and to come back and die for us, He really is reaching out to His creation that loves Him.
Pray to the Lord always for His strength and protection, but never lose confidence if you don’t always understand why things are they way they are at certain times. Trust in the Lord, He loves those who love Him. If you accepted Christ as Savior, you are an heir and more than a conqueror.
Love Him. Truly love your Lord.
