Romans 8:37 KJV: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. NCV: But in all these things we have full victory through God who showed his love for us.

[Poem written from Revelation 2 & 3 by Dorothy Callies in 1980’s]
What is conquer? The dictionary says: 1. get by fighting; win by war: conquer a country. 2. Overcome by force; defeat; get the better of: conquer an enemy, conquer a bad habit. 3. be victorious; be the conqueror.
Reading from Romans 8:31-39 would give the whole picture of what the key verse of Romans 8:37 was about. (Manna from 2008 revised to Dec. 5-8, 2015)
Dorothy: Reading
this, boy! That is a lot of promises Jesus had already made for us who are
overcomers. The same God who knows the number of your hairs … care that much to
reward you a lot. That should really encourage us to rejoice in all things and be able to overcome things when they are bad. Just review all the rewards that
Jesus has promised us would be enough to sing, “It would be worth it all.”
Song: When We See Christ
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life’s trials will
seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His
dear face, all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the
race, till we see Christ.
[Lyrics & Music: Esther Kerr Rusthoi, Sing His Praise]
