More than Conquerors

 

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord; Rom.8: 33-39 (KJV).

 

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?  When one is declared not guilty, by the highest judge, that person is secure from every charge, and no one else can add additional charge. Who is he who condemns?  As a result, one is free and secure from all other condemnation. The reason being Jesus Christ being our advocate is promoting our benefits, because of what He did on the cross, purging our sins, and this nullifies all other condemnation! More than conquerors through Him who loved us, means no matter what our circumstances, or our sufferings of our present time can separate us from the love of God, because of Christ.

 

What does More than conquerors mean? In weaknesses, God’s power, exceeds, and every believer with a greater love provided from above, can conquer the enemies with Christ’s love and converting persecutors with patience.

Our thoughts may sink, our hopes may run out, the day may groan, our hearts’ string may snap, our soul may be in anguish, sin- burdened souls may writhe in pain and despair, may be reaping tares despite sowing wheat, struggling to rise up in the morning one may stumble and fall, as clouds of regrets of life assail, loss of direction for life, left us without peace, the toil of years, struggles and fears and anxiety encircles, and scenes of distress continues: remember the fullness of His blessing encompasses one’s way according to the riches of His glory.

Security of a believer in God’s love, Rom 8:39, meant, absolutely, nothing, which appears to be good, or appear to be evil shall be able to separate a genuine believer from the love of God, because His love is vast, wide, high, and deep, broader than the broadest sea, beyond any human expression with our limited eloquence!

Times and seasons changes, everything we see around us changes but God’s love in Christ endures for ever, and tides of joy in softest murmurs continue to roll and brings ray of bright hope!
