MORE THAN CONQUERORS 

        
“–we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”-Romans 8:37 

If we truly understood who we are in Christ it would change our views about everything. Sadly, some don’t. Fortunately a few do. Most certainly all should.It would make a big difference in how we look at the challenges in life. 

During World War II General Creighton Abrams and his troops were surrounded by the enemy to the east, west, north, south. General Abrams said,”Gentlemen, for the first time in the history of this campaign, we are now in a position to attack the enemy in any direction.”

Wouldn’t it be great if we all had that attitude? Far too often we bemoan the fact that many things are against us without ever considering that God is “for us”( Romans 8:31). It’s true, we should not ignore reality–we do have enemies, but we need to see the big picture. As Christians we have every right, and even a responsibility, to maintain a positive attitude. Fret not about all that is against you and focus on the One who is for you. He is all powerful and He cares about you. He can defeat every foe, meet every need, and solve any problem–trust Him. As John said, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”(1 John 4:4).

I sent this message in 2009 but as I read it again I realized that I need the message myself, and I suspect some folks reading it now are in need of it also. In light of the person and work of Christ we should never forget who we are and what we have in Christ. That gives us a reason to rejoice regardless of our circumstances. -HDS
