Romans 8:37 says, “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” As believers, we often take comfort in this verse, knowing that we are victorious in Christ. However, have you ever wondered what “all these things” actually refer to?

 

The preceding verses provide the answer. Paul writes that as Christians, we may face hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, or even the sword. In other words, “all these things” represent the struggles and trials we may encounter in this fallen world.

 

But the good news is that through Christ, we are not just conquerors; we are more than conquerors. We are not merely surviving these hardships; we are thriving despite them. We can find strength, peace, and hope in knowing that Christ has overcome the world and that we can too.

 

So, the next time you face a difficult situation, remember that you are more than a conqueror in Christ. Take heart in the fact that He has already won the battle and that you can emerge victorious through Him. Trust in His love and His power to see you through “all these things.”

 

Let this truth bring comfort and encouragement to you today and everyday.

Thank you for reading.

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
