More than Conquerors
Romans 8:37-39 KJV
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Despite the evil that walks among us, prevalent in the hearts and minds of a carnal creature, on a carnal planet, looking for answers that can not be found in the carnality of men, in the philosophy and plans of men, despite the desire to give in to defeat when that evil show its power with the intent to rob man of the Love granted us by God through Christ Jesus, that Love remains, even more powerful than the depths of despair that otherwise would drive this creature and deny the hope that perfection is attainable through that love.
Evil has walked constantly among us since Eve listened to the whispers of a creature that set out on a mission to destroy the hope and the assurance of that Love, shown through the very creation of a creature set apart by that very Love for the purpose of glorifying the Creator rather than the creature itself.
Along the way, many succumb, many surrender, many reject that provided hope and love, thinking to find perfect answers from a far from perfect creature, solace in the knowledge accumulated by that creature rather than in the OMNISCIENCE of that Creator.
Despite this rejection, LOVE and hope remain.
Answers to all the whys and wherefores remain.
Tragedy, sickness, war, persecution, attacks from any and all sides cannot diminish nor quash that Love.
Paul's letter to the Romans addressed, again and again, the necessity to hold fast to both the Love and hope provided only through the salvation granted only by Christ Jesus, the proof of that Love and hope given us, the evidence of that Love and that Hope.
That letter provided guidance in a time of tribulation when the evidence of evil was starkly evident to the early church, and continues to provide guidance, consolation and hope to those willing to accept that Love, knowing that the Omniscience of the Creator supersedes any perceived power held by the evil that walks among us, still in pursuit of the theft of that Love and hope.
Until the return of the KING of KINGS, and His final defeat of all evil, there will come, time and again, the thief and robber and his attempt to remove all hope, remove all recognition of that Love, an attempt doomed to failure as that very Love has conquered death and Hell, and cannot be defeated, cannot be diminished, cannot be quashed.
Answers await.
They await in that Love and hope provided through Christ Jesus, Provided through HIS perfection, attainable for man only through HIS sacrifice and resurrection.
Diligent search while awaiting those answers is encouraged, when that search is also found through HIM and through the WORD delivered by Him that sheds light on the false answers found in the imperfection of imperfect knowledge pursued and held only in imperfect men.
Proverbs 8:17
17I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
What is sought, must, and shall be found.
Where it is sought determines what is to be found.
The Love and hope proffered by Christ is found only when sought diligently, with comprehension of wherein that Love and hope lies.
Once found, it may no longer ever be taken, no longer ever denied, despite the pitiful attempts evil in any guise may make to deny the existence of that Love and hope.
2 Timothy 1:12 KJV
12For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
