Today's Devotion: No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (The Holy Bible : New International Version. electronic ed. Grand Rapids : Zondervan, 1996, c1984, S. Ro 8:37)

We are more than conquerors. We are God's chosen people and through him, we have received the gift of eternal life.

Today's Comments: Being "more than conquerors" means that there is nothing that can come between Christ and us because of the love that God has for us. Although not everything that will happen to us will necessarily be perceived as good, all things that happen to us will contribute to our good so that we may become more Christ-like as we progress. Although I feel myself to be far from that state of Christ-likeness, I pray that I will come more under the influence of God so that I can become better day by day.
