"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither 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," (Romans 8:37-39)
As children of God we have victory in Christ Jesus, our Lord! We need to fear nothing, for the Lord is on our side! Nothing can separate us from the love of God! What an awesome thought, and what an awesome promise! In light of all this there should be overflowing joy in our hearts!
What wonderful victories, blessings, and promises we have in Christ Jesus, our Lord! God choose us and called us from eternity to be His own. Romans 8:30b says, "those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified." We not only have the forgiveness of sins, but we have a secure eternal future in Christ. This eternal future is so secure in God's plan for us that Romans 8:30b speaks of this eternal future as if it has already taken place!
We are secure in Christ for time and for eternity. Romans 8:31b reminds us, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Sometimes we may feel as if everything is against us, but the Word of God teaches us that the great God of the universe is always for us and is always with us! Romans 8:32 says, "He 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?" God proved His love for us by sending His only Son to die for our sins. Surely we can trust Him to provide us with everything we need for time and eternity. No one or nothing can ever oppose us as children of God and ultimately succeed. In the dangers, trials, and uncertainties of life we can rest in the Lord. We have the Lord God on our side, and we are victors in Him!
We have absolute security in Christ in all things, because He died for our sins and freed us from the guilt of our sins. Christ is also in heaven sitting at the right hand of the Heavenly Father in the position of power. Nothing can happen to us that is not in God's plan for our lives, so we need not fear. Finally, Christ is always interceding for His children. What a blessed promise!
In light of all this, Romans 8:35 says, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" The answer is that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ! No matter what hardship, trial, or trouble we may be experiencing in our lives at the moment, we are never separated from the love of Christ. In fact, trials in our lives are part of God's plan and purpose for our lives to mold us to become more like Jesus in our characters and attitudes. Romans 8:37 reassures us by saying, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
We become conquerors through the trials of life by patiently enduring these trials and by being submissive to the Lord's will. We become "more than conquerors" by using these experiences to grow in our love and service for the Lord. Also God will always see us through these difficult times and bring us to ultimate victory. Victory is always assured for the Christian, if not in this life, then in eternity. Absolutely nothing will ever separate us from the love of God and the victory we have in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Romans 8:38-39 says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither 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." Praise the name of the Lord for our victory in Him!
