More Than Conquerors — Basilea Schlink

Becoming More Than Conquerors Through Jesus' Love

God lives and works today. We can see him at work in the lives of those who love him, as he makes them into conquerors. Our lives needn't be marked by one defeat after another. Listen to the following meditation called More Than Conquerors, or, in other words, Losers Will Be Winners.

Paul's Promise of Victory in Romans 8

In the midst of great suffering, the Apostle Paul wrote to his congregation in Romans 8, 37. In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. As he wrote these words, he may have been thinking about the city of God.

The Overcomers' Inheritance in Revelation

For we know that the Lord's primary concern was that we might enter that city one day as conquerors and victors. And for this reason, Jesus warned the churches several times in Revelation with the words, The number one question in our lives should be, are we becoming conquerors in our struggles, troubles, and suffering?

According to Jesus' words, if we conquer, we shall inherit everything, glory, the throne, and crowns. Yes, the conquerors, the overcomers, will inherit the city of God in all her glory. However, there can only be a conqueror when there has been some kind of battle.

Fighting Sin and the Good Fight of Faith

Therefore, the Lord is calling to us, make yourselves ready for battle. Don't grow weary in the fight against your sins. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the name conqueror. Fight the good fight of faith, for you can become a conqueror.

Complete Victory Through Jesus' Sacrifice

How? Through him who loved us. Jesus loves us so much that he doesn't just offer us help, he offers us complete victory. What a triumphant sound Paul's words have. In all these things we are more than conquerors.

That should say to you, there are no exceptions. In every trouble, battle, and temptation, we are challenged to become conquerors, more than conquerors. In Jesus' sacrifice lies such redemptive power for us.

Entering the City of God as Overcomers

Yes, nothing is greater than Jesus and his victory. May we all enter the city of God one day, truly as overcomers who have become more than conquerors.

City of God, so fair. Lamb's feast is prepared. This city shines so bright. City of God.
