Romans 8:37
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
What does it mean to be more than a conqueror? I guess to answer that we should determine what is a conqueror. According to Merriam-Webster, it is someone who subdues or subjugates a people or overcomes an adversary. What more could there be than to overcome an adversary?
We know that our ultimate goal is to get to Heaven. If Heaven is our goal then it could be said life is our adversary. I think we could all agree with that one by looking around. Pick up a newspaper or listen to the news for five minutes if you disagree with me.
So, back to the original questions what does it mean to be MORE than a conqueror? To me, it is as simple as not just surviving, but thriving. God never intended for us to merely live. He wanted us to have a life filled with peace, love, and joy. Yes, there is adversity all around, but we can go through the storms hanging on to God and His peace. We can live in between the storms with joy. We can experience and fill the world around us with love. That is how we become more than conquerors!
Lord, I want to live today as more than a conqueror. ~amen
