Love conquers all

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. – Romans 8.37

  

There is a verse tucked into the list of all the things that cannot separate us from the love of God. Right in the middle is this wonderful promise that we are conquerors, yeah, not just conquerors but more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

I also like the fact that our ‘more than conqueror’ status is not based on how spiritual we are. He is not based in our strength. It is not based on our ability. It is not based on our position. It is pure and simple based are the fact that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Taken in the right context that means that the old saying ‘love conquers all’ is a true and powerful statement. We means we have the all-conquering love of God that defeated sin and death on our side!

I could go on and on, but I think I will just let the song writer Ralph Carmichael say it for me:

We are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us so,

The Christ Who dwells within us is the greatest pow'r we know

He will fight beside us though the enemy is great.

Who can stand against us?  He's the Captain of our fate.

Then we will conquer, never fear; so let the battle rage.

He has promised to be near until the end of the age.

We are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us so.

The Christ Who dwells within us is the greatest pow'r we know.

I still love that old song. It is a great reminder of this powerful Bible truth.

As we go out today we don’t go out defeated and despairing – we go out as more than conquerors. Let’s act like it, shall we?
