Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors
\n through Him that loved us.<\/p>\n

— Romans 8:37<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paul is speaking of the things that might seem likely to separate or
\nwedge in between the saint and the love of God; but the remarkable
\nthing is that nothing can wedge in between the love of God and the
\nsaint. These things can and do come in between the devotional
\nexercises of the soul and God and separate individual life from God;
\nbut none of them is able to wedge in between the love of God and the
\nsoul of the saint. The bedrock of our Christian faith is the
\nunmerited, fathomless marvel of the love of God exhibited on the
\nCross of Calvary, a love we never can and never shall merit. Paul
\nsays this is the reason we are more than conquerors in all these
\nthings, super-victors, with a joy we would not have but for the very
\nthings which look as if they are going to overwhelm us.<\/p>\n

The surf that distresses the ordinary swimmer produces in the
\nsurf-rider the super-joy of going clean through it. Apply that to our
\nown circumstances, these very things – tribulation, distress,
\npersecution, produce in us the super-joy; they are not things to
\nfight. We are more than conquerors through Him in all these things,
\nnot in spite of them, but in the midst of them. The saint never knows
\nthe joy of the Lord in spite of tribulation, but because of it – “I
\nam exceeding joyful in all our tribulation,” says Paul.<\/p>\n

Undaunted radiance is not built on anything passing, but on the love
\nof God that nothing can alter. The experiences of life, terrible or
\nmonotonous, are impotent to touch the love of God, which is in Christ
\nJesus our Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
