“But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.” Romans 8:37 (NASB)
Our verse comes from the letter the Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans. Earlier in the 8th chapter Paul confirms for us that various troubles such as distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger or sword will never separate us from the love of Christ. Then he writes these words to let us know what our outcome is when we do face them. We are more than conquerors over all these troubles. What does it mean to overwhelmingly conquer? In the days of imperial conquests a conqueror took control and he reigned over the territory he had taken. Those he had conquered became his subjects. He was more than a conqueror, he was a king or a emperor over the conquered people. So it is with us. Because Christ has already given us victory over all the difficulties in our lives He promises to give us control and He wants to keep us in control reigning over all problems now and in the future. What are you battling today? Christ has given you the victory and made you more than a conqueror – You can, with God's grace and power rule over those problems.
