MORE THAN CONQUERORS


Romans 8: 28-39

28 AND WE KNOW THAT IN ALL THINGS
GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM,
WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

29 FOR THOSE GOD FOREKNEW
HE ALSO PREDESTINED TO BE CONFORMED
TO THE LIKENESS OF HIS SON,
THAT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRSTBORN
AMONG MANY BROTHERS.

30 FOR THOSE HE PREDESTINED,
HE ALSO CALLED, HE ALSO JUSTIFIED;
THOSE HE JUSTIFIED, HE ALSO GLORIFIED.

31 What then, shall we say in response to this?

IF GOD IS FOR US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?

32 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?

33 WHO CAN BRING ANY CHARGE
AGAINST THOSE WHOM GOD HAS CHOSEN?
IT IS GOD WHO JUSTIFIES.

34 WHO IS HE WHO 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.

35 WHO SHALL SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF CHRIST?

SHALL TROUBLE OR HARDSHIP OR PERSECUTION
OR FAMINE OR NAKEDNESS OR DANGER OR SWORD?

36 As it is written:

'For Your sake we face Death all day long;
We are considered as Sheep to be Slaughtered.'

37 NO, IN ALL THESE THINGS
WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS
THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US.

38 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 8:28-39)

If we Stand firm in the Faith given us by Christ,
Nothing can separate us from His Love,
And we, thereby, Conquer this Wicked World
By this same Faith.
