Living the "More than Conqueror" Life

The group discussed the sermons on "More than Conquerors" by an invited speaker. The meaning of "More than Conqueror" is posted. Here we want to continue with "'How to live this More than Conquerors' Life".

The answer is in the 2nd part of the save verse 37

• Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

The two key parts are

1. Through Christ
2. His love for us

We must understand and experience the love that Jesus has for us that we could respond with our trust in Him and follow His guidance, teaching and seek His empowerment through the Holy Spirit.

Through Christ is then related to the earlier verses of following after the Spirit and His ways.

Jesus' ways are recorded in the Bible for us to follow. A key ingredient of the way of Christ is the way of love - most of the time is about learning His ways, more than about discipline and correction, and at times through adversity. In fact, in the study of the great leaders either in the Bible or in History are groomed through adversity. The path of adversity seems to be a key ingredient in growth into maturity. In the six-stage spiritual growth model, breaking through the wall in stage 4 enables us to grow into maturity of greater inward strength, less of self and more of God and an understanding of the compassion of Christ and of a Father.
