We Overwhelmingly Conquer
Horatio Nelson, after defeating the French and Spanish fleets in
the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, sent a message back to the British
admiralty, “The word victory is not a large enough word to describe
what has happened here today.” Perhaps the words victory and
conquer are not big enough words to describe what we have in Christ
Jesus. Romans 8:37, “But in all these things we overwhelmingly
conquer through Him who loved us.”
Paul begins Romans 8 with a reminder that there is no
condemnation in Christ, he ends the chapter with the assuring words
of no separation from the love of Christ, and he makes that
marvelous affirmation, “we overwhelmingly conquer through Him
who loved us.” How can we be more than conquerors? Four words:
1. Recognition. There are certain truths we need to recognize.
The ownership of God, He is in control. The stewardship of man.
We are simply managers, not possessors of our time, talents and
material possessions. We need to recognize the providence of God.
He is at work in our lives and His main purpose is to conform us into
the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). We also need to be aware of
the brevity of life.
2. Decision. We need to decide the master of our lives, the
mission of our lives, and the mind-set of our lives.
3. Dedication. Life without a cause is purposeless. We all need a
cause, a banner to march under. Romans 12:1 calls us to offer our
bodies as living sacrifices to God.
4. Anticipation. We live our lives with hope. Adoniram Judson
was an early missionary to India. He was often persecuted, ridiculed
and put into prison. One day some hecklers came by and shouted to
Judson, “How bright are your prospects now?” Judson replied, “My
prospects are as bright as the promises of God.” With that kind of
hope, we are more than conquerors.
When we recognize God’s truths, decide to live within God’s will,
dedicate our lives to Christ, and anticipate a glorious future with
God, we can live as more than a conqueror through Him who loved
us.
