In All the Sufferings we Believers More than Conquer through Christ who Loved us

No suffering or persecution shall separate us from the love of Christ, but rather, in all the sufferings we more than conquer through Christ who loved us, for God will carry out what is in His heart toward us in His love. Praise the Lord!

How wonderful it is that we believers in Christ can experience, enjoy, and express Christ as the One who makes us more than conquerors.

As seen in the last part of Romans chapter 8, we love God and the love of God constrains us, even causing us to love Him and making us more than conquerors. Amen!

If God is for us, who can be against us? God has a heart full of love toward us.

He not only loves us with an eternal love but has also reached out to us in Christ, the Son of God, and now we can enjoy Him in love. Praise the Lord!

As we love the Lord, we participate in all the riches contained in God.

We participate in all the deep and hidden things which God has prepared and ordained for us, for He has many riches for those who love Him.

In the Old Testament, God made a covenant with His people, and the law was involved; those who obeyed the law and brought the sacrifices could be acceptable to God.

In the New Testament, however, God made a new covenant with us, which is inward, in our heart, and it has to do with God writing His laws into our heart and imparting them into our mind. Praise the Lord!

According to His eternal covenant, God will not turn away for us but rather, He will do good to us.

He will put His fear into our hearts so that we don’t turn away from Him, and He will rejoice over us to do good to us.

We believers in Christ are in the new covenant, and we can simply confess our sins, apply the Lord’s precious blood, and come forward to God to enjoy Him.

We can forget the things that are behind us and focus only on Christ to gain Him, obtain Him, and partake of His riches.

God loves us, God sent His Son to die for us, and He puts us in Christ, His Beloved Son; now God gives us Christ, and together with Christ, He gives us freely all things.

Even things that seem to be unpleasant or the trials that come our way are for our perfecting, for we love the Lord.

All things, persons, matters, and situations are for our perfecting, for us to be conformed to the image of Christ, the firstborn Son of God. Praise the Lord!

Nothing Shall Separate us from the Love of God in Christ; rather, in All Sufferings we More than Conquer through Christ who Loved us

Rom. 8:35 tells us that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. No suffering, no tribulation, no anguish, no persecution, no famine, no nakedness, no peril, and no sword shall separate us from the love of Christ.

The apostle Paul testified of this; he was threatened in many ways, he was close to death many times, and much persecution and suffering came his way, but he was assured that nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ.

We love the Lord, He loves us, and He poured out His love into our hearts (Rom. 5:5).

Though persecution, peril, and trials are our portion, we can be assured that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

Rather, in all the sufferings, we more than conquer through Christ who loved us (Rom. 8:37).

We more than overcome and conquer through Christ who loved us.

Because of God’s unchanging love for us and the fact that Christ has accomplished everything on our behalf, neither tribulation nor persecution can suppress us or defeat us.

His love prevails. His love keeps us to the end.

Because of His love, even in all the sufferings, we more than conquer through Christ who loved us. This is our assurance today.

We can stand on the word of God and say Amen to His word, even pray over His word and make it our reality in faith.

The love of God is the source of His eternal salvation. God saved us because He loved us. His love is eternal and unconditional.

Nothing can separate us from His love, and His love has also been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:38-39; 5:5; Jer. 31:3). Amen!

We all can testify that it is only His love and mercy that we are here, as believers in Christ, enjoying Him and partaking of His riches.

It is because of His love that we can enjoy and experience Christ today.

Because God loves us, He saved us, and He accomplishes many wonderful things in us.

We respond to the love of God in Christ, and we simply open to Him. Because of this, Satan attacks us, for he brings in many sufferings and calamities (Rom. 8:35-36).

Satan does not want us to enjoy Christ or be saved in His life; he brings in many calamities and sufferings to try to separate us from the love of Christ.

However, even though Satan attacks us and causes us much suffering, even these attacks become benefits to us (v. 28).

All things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to His purpose.

All things include both the pleasant things and the unpleasant things, both the sufferings and the joys.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ, for once God loves us, He loves us with an eternal love.

God loves us forever with an eternal, inseparable love.

We may be cold in our love for Him, but the Lord still loves us and causes us to be more than conquerors in His love.

God’s salvation is secured by His love; it is not our effort or even our cooperation with Him but His love that will take us all the way to the end.

May we be assured that nothing will separate us from the love of God!

This love does not derive from us nor does it depend on us; this love is derived from God and depends on Him!

God in terenity initiated love, He loved us, He chose us, He predestinated us, and He is working to conform us to the image of Christ.

Now in time, He shows His love toward us by coming to us in Christ, and He redeemed us, He draws us to Himself, and we respond to Him in love.

Thank the Lord for the love of God in Christ! His love is not only eternal – His love is manifested and approachable, for it is in Christ.

If He would just love us apart from Christ, even such things as losing our temper or a sin would separate us from His love.

But God loves in Christ, and because of Christ and in Christ, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Thank the Lord for His love toward us.

Because of His love for us, God saves us to the extent that He accepts us, He puts us in Christ, and He conforms us ot the image of Christ so that we may be just like Him in every possible way.

As the ultimate goal of His salvation, God conforms us by the Lord Spirit to bring us into the incomparable glory and be glorified together with God (vv. 18, 30).

This is what God desires, this is what He is doing, and we are loved in Him.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ; rather, in all the sufferings, we more than conquer through Christ who loved us.

Lord Jesus, we love You! Thank You for pouring out the love of God into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord, God loves us, God as love is in us, and nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ. Wow, Lord, no suffering – including tribulation, anguish, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, and sword – shall separate us from the love of Christ! Praise the Lord, in all the sufferings we more than conquer through Christ who loved us. Thank You, Lord, for Your unchanging love toward us. Thank You for accomplishing everything on our behalf and for loving us to the end. Praise the Lord, in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us. Hallelujah, the love of God has become the love of Christ, which does many marvelous things through the grace of Christ in God’s complete salvation! Amen, Lord, may all things become benefits to us as we more than conquer in all our afflictions and calamities!

Enjoy and Experience God as Love to Love others as God does – Only Love Prevails

The first eight chapters of the book of Romans show us that Christ came as the incarnated God-man; He is both the seed of David and the Son of God.

Christ – who has the Godhead – became a man as the seed of David, and He passed through the processes of human living, death, and resurrection.

By these processes, He accomplished God’s redemption and entered into God’s glory.

Also, through these processes, He was consummated to become the Spirit of Christ, who is the Spirit of God, the Spirit of life, and the reality and essence of the wonderful Christ.

Now He comes into us, the believers in Christ, as the Spirit, to be our life, our life supply, and our everything.

He comes into us to regenerate us and make us children of God, even sons of God, and He is installed in us to be the inner operating law of the Spirit of life to conform us to the image of Christ and make us members of the Body of Christ. Hallelujah!

Chapter 8 of Romans concludes with the fact that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ; even more, in all the sufferings and trials we go through, we more than conquer through Christ who loved us.

God is love. God loves us. God pours out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, which He has given to us.

Now we love God, and we know that all things work together for good.

Even more, we enjoy and experience God as love, and we learn to love with God as our love.

We want to take the most excellent way today – the way of love.

As we learn to serve the Lord, we don’t just want to take the most efficient way but the most excellent way – love.

As we care for others, prophesy in the meetings of the church, and teach others, we want to take the most excellent way, the way of love.

The most excellent way for us to be anything or do anything is love.

The church life should be the life of protherly love (Rom. 12:10; Col. 3:12-13; Phil. 2:1-4).

The church life is not a police station to arrest people or a law court to judge them.

Rather, the church life is a home to care for the young ones, a hospital to heal the sick ones, and a school to teach the unlearned ones.

We all need to enjoy, experience, and express God as love in the church life today.

On the one hand, on the personal side, we enjoy God as love, we love God, and we know that nothing can separate us from the love of God, for we more than conquer through Christ who loves us.

On the other hand, on the corporate side, we express God as love.

We love one another with God as our love.

We do not judge one another nor do we criticize one another; we simply enjoy, experience, and express God as love in the church life.

May the Lord recover such a church life of brotherly love today among us.

May we learn to cooperate with the Lord today by enjoying, experiencing, and expressing God as love in our daily living and in the church life.

May we learn Christ as the reality is in Jesus in an atmosphere of love.

Even as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us so that He may obtain the church, so we have Christ in us and, being one with Him, we give ourselves up for the church, loving the saints with Christ as our love.

Lord Jesus, thank You for loving us and giving up Yourself for us. Thank You for dying for us on the cross and becoming a life-giving Spirit to come into our spirit to be our life and our everything. We open to You today. Oh, how much God loves us! Thank You, God, for Your unchanging love for us. Thank You, dear Lord Jesus, for accomplishing everything on our behalf. We simply love You back and we want to be produced as those who more than conquer through Christ who loved us. Oh Lord Jesus, fill us with Your love and be the One loving the saints in us. May the church life be filled with loving one another. May we take the most excellent way, the way of loving one another for the building up of the church as the Body of Christ. Amen, Lord Jesus, may we allow You to fill and saturate us with Yourself as love, and may we love others with You as our love for the building up of the church as the Body of Christ!
