After mentioning some of the problems and difficulties that people face, the apostle Paul wrote the words of our verse for today. Let us think about the expression “more than conquerors.” A conqueror would be one who has come with an army to attack a territory and who takes control. Could anyone be greater than that? Well, the answer is in what follows the conquest. Winning a victory is only the beginning. One must also win the peace, controlling the new territory in a lasting way. So it is with us. We are victors with Christ and in Him we live on in peace – more than conquerors!
