'Bring Me to Life'

Romans 8:25-38

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
--(Romans 8:37) angelwing

ONE of my most pleasant assignments as a reserve police officer was working security at high school football games. For the most part, everyone enjoyed being there. At the start of the evening, both teams presumed they'd end up the conquerors and champions that night. Time would tell who the winner would be.

Scripture reminds us that we are conquerors...even more than conquerors. The Greek words here describe one who is 'super- victorious'. It's the picture of one who wins more than an ordinary victory; it indicates abundant victory. That ought to make you think of none other than Jesus Christ.

Consider these aspects of victory in Jesus: First, we are joined with Christ. Nothing can separate us from His love (v.38-39). Second, we enjoy the power of HIs Spirit (v.26-27). Third, we are under His protection (v.28-30). Fourth, we are simply overwhelmed by His love (v.35-37). These verses emphasize that because of our Champion, Jesus, we are more than conquerors...we already know that we win!

The Champion of your very life, the One who has won the more-than-ordinary victory, is your Friend and Redeemer, JESUS!
