Title Romans 08:31-39 Victory is guaranteed
Contents
Do you have many experiences of victories in your life so far? Or do you have a lot of experience with failure? Do you have a successful life of faith? Have you ever won or failed in your struggles with sin and guilt, poverty and disease, and with yourself? Why are failures repeated so often? How can I win?
The message of hope for us in today's text is, “If God is for me, who can be against me? If God were my backer, what would I be afraid of?”
The best gospel of Christianity is that God loves us, and the culmination of God's love for us is the cross of Jesus Christ. Jesus took up the cross to tell us that God loves the world “this way”.
God loves us. God hates us being unrighteous, but he doesn't hate us for being unrighteous. But Satan makes us sin and deceives us by saying, 'Now that you have sinned, God has forsaken you and he does not love you', but that is false. God always loves us. God does not say, 'If you confess your sins and repent, you will love them'. God says, “Repent, because I love you.”
Today's passage says, "Who will separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword" (verse 35), "I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor present things nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (verses 38-39).
Nothing in the world can break God's love for us. God's love is eternal and universal. I hope you can believe in this love of God. This belief leads to amazing changes in our lives. Big wins don't come to the fastest, smartest, smartest, or richest person. Great victories come to those who get up every time they fall. Everyone stumbles at times, but what matters is what comes next. If you fall down, you are an eternal loser, but when you stand up again, you are always a winner. You have to stand up to become a big winner.
Dale Carnegie divided people into three types. There are those who fear, those who live with a sense of defeat, and those who live with a sense of victory.
A fearful person fears success and fears failure. Even if you win, you don't get a sense of victory. A person who lives with a sense of defeat only thinks about failure and shortcomings. We don't always think about what we have, but only what we don't have. A person who lives with a victorious mindset sees failure as a process for success. I know and believe that all things are going under the providence of God and that the work of the saints will be accomplished beautifully. Even in failure, you become a winner. So he is always a winner.
Man trusts God only as much as he loves God. And you will love Him only to the extent that you touch Him rather than how much He touches you. When you yourself feel lonely, do you remember that God is closest to you? Do you know that the Holy Spirit of God is in your heart? Do you have the confidence that triumphs will come to you in the future?
Lord, who came to us with the great love of the cross, let us remember the love of the Lord that sustains our hearts so that we do not lose heart because of your love, no matter what tribulation and persecution there may be in this world.
Victory is already guaranteed to us.
