More Than Conquerors
“In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”—Romans 8:37 ESV
Amazingly, Paul’s statement about being “more than conquerors” came in his letter to believers in Rome. This city had experienced tumultuous times and seen many conquerors.
In the century before Paul wrote his letter, Rome had experienced a bloody civil war. Then, their republican form of government was replaced by an empire ruled by an emperor. Throughout the city, there still were major divisions. Paul wrote this letter during Nero’s turbulent reign when Christians would have had many reasons to worry and feel defeated.
From personal experience, he knew that, because he loved God and was called according to His purpose, all things were working together for good—every difficulty.
Paul had learned that, because of Jesus, believers can be more than conquerors in every situation we face. We still may endure circumstances that seem hostile. On the surface, it may seem that we are defeated. We still may face opposition and be outnumbered. We may feel afraid, anxious, and worried.
Because of our relationship with Jesus, we can be confident that God will work everything together for good. Everything!
Do not allow any situation to cause you to feel defeated. God can give you His peace in any situation and cause you to experience victory! No matter what difficulties you may face, have faith in God. Remember that, because of Jesus, you are more than a conqueror!
