More than Conquerors
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, [j]
Who[k]
Have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the
Firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He 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? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34Who is he that condemns? 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. 35Who
Shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[l]
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, [m]
Neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither 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.
Romans 8: 28-38
More than conquerors…way more than conquerors, that’s exactly what we are when we have God as our Father, Christ as our brother, and the Holy Spirit living in our hearts intervening for us …speaking to the Father for us when we have no words of our own.
There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God. What a wonderful promise to remember during these most difficult economic times, days when evil is so prevailing not in our society. How scary it is to think how the world will be for our grandchildren if the world doesn’t turn from its wicked ways. But we have such wonderful promises in Romans from our Lord. He will be with us through it all. Nothing, absolutely nothing, will separate us from His love. He will take care of his own. Yes, there may be difficult days, some of us may lose our homes, jobs, savings…but we can never lose the treasures that are stored up for us in heaven. We can never lose eternity with Jesus! Praise the Lord and bless His Holy Name!
I thank you Lord for your promises. Come quickly I pray!
