More Than Conquerors

28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,Some manuscripts And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God whoOr works together with those who love him to bring about what is good–with those who have been called according to his purpose.29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all–how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died–more than that, who was raised to life–is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?36As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”Psalm 44:22

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,Or nor heavenly rulers neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It is only through him I can be victorious.

What is included in "all these things?" What does it mean to be "more than conquerors?" Does it mean that our self interest must die in certain circumstances? That we need to look for a greater victory than the one we desire? Is it instead, how he changes us in/through each of these circumstances?? I don't know...

In every bit of suffering, in every trial, in every part of life in which we share in Christ's sufferings, we who live by faith in the Son of God are 'more than conquerors'--we are victors! Not because of our strength, wisdom, or giftedness; for we know that we must give these up before we can clothe ourselves with Christ. We are victors only because Jesus loved and gave himself up for the Church, His Bride, "so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:25-27). If we have been sealed by the Holy Spirit -- if Christ's loved has been poured into our hearts by that same Spirit -- then we are assured that He will finish the good work that He began in us by that same Spirit (Philippians 1:6). In the midst of describing the great suffering and hardship he endured in Asia, Paul rejoiced before the Corinthians because of this sustaining love of Christ: "But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere" (2 Corinthians 2:14). But if we will not suffer for the sake of the Gospel and will not give up our lives for the sake of knowing Christ, we will never understand this verse or even this chapter. Holy Spirit, come, and fill the hearts of Your faithful!
