“In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” Rom. 8:37 (ESV) In all these things (tribulation, distress, persecution etc.) we ARE more than conquerors. It doesn’t say we will be one day (though we will). Rather, it says that we are now more than conquerors. No matter what happens to us now we have victory. We are like the Roman generals who return home in a great victory procession, displaying all the fruits of their victory. What is our victory? That nothing separates us from the love of Christ. That in spite of whatever happens our hearts are safe and victorious; we still have peace and holiness. We are still connected to the Ruler of All. He maintains our goodness. Trials don’t defeat us; we are still lights in the world. In Christ we always have spiritual victory.
Simple application: put your name in the verse instead of “us.” Then say it out loud three times. Rely on it.
