Romans 8- Conquerors in Christ

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. Romans 8:37-39

When you become a Christian, a servant of Jesus Christ, your life is going to get harder not easier. This is why the false prosperity gospel makes many false converts, consider what The Lord said himself “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24) Jesus said you must deny yourself and carry your cross, this is not the carnal gospel being preached today. You must understand this when giving your life to Christ, it will cost you everything!

Now with all that said, as the Apostle Paul reveals to us , “we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” (v37) So how can we be victorious when we must die to ourselves? Because its a spiritual battle we are in for your soul (Ephesians 6) Those who don’t understand this pursue the flesh, which actually leads to death. We are conquerors in Christ because at the cross, Jesus defeated sin, death, Satan, and Hell forever! We are conquerors because Christ Is Risen! This is a victory the world can’t understand, because they need to be Born Again (John 3:3)

The next verse reminds me of the old hymn “Abide in Me”, it goes “in life and death, O Lord Abide in Me” Jesus warned you might lose your life for Him (Matthew 16:25) And you might ask, where is the victory? The Victory is nothing can separate you from our Lord Jesus Christ, life , death, persecution, angels, demons, ect. There is nothing that can take your soul, because your soul belongs to the author of life, Jesus Christ

Jesus said this “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28) You don’t have to fear man or demon, because they can’t destroy your soul. They can destroy your body, they can destroy everything you have, but they can’t separate your from Jesus Christ. They can’t take away your salvation, and this is what Satan wantsQ

So knowing this, you are a conqueror in Jesus Christ , because Christ has overcome the grave, because Christ Is Risen, nothing can separate us from our Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen!
