Romans 8:37 - Victory in Christ!

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) Yet in all these things 
we are more than conquerors through Him who 
loved us. 

INTRODUCTION

Let no one think he can overcome without the 
help of God. You must have the energy, the 
strength, the power, of an inner life developed within 
you. You will then bear fruit unto godliness, and 
will have an intense loathing of vice. You need 
to constantly strive to work away from 
earthliness, from cheap conversation, from everything 
sensual, and aim for nobility of soul and a pure and 
unspotted character. MM144 

COMMENTARY PEARL

Victory Over Sin
   We sing "Onward Christian soldiers, 
marching as to war," but so often when Satan mounts 
an attack against us, we behave as if we were 
prisoners of war, or worse, conscientious objectors! 
But as Christians, we don't have to live 
defeated lives. God wants us to live victorious lives 
- lives that are constantly conquering sin. 
   There is only one way to have victory 
over sin. That is to walk so closely with Christ 
that sin no longer dominates your life. It 
becomes the exception rather than the rule. 
   Why does a close walk with Christ make 
the difference? Simply this: The closer we are 
to Christ, the farther we are from Satan. The 
Bible says, "Resist the devil and he will flee 
from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near 
to you" (James 4:7-8). Is the devil farther 
away from you today than he was a week ago? If 
not, why? 
   Because of Christ, we are conquerors, and 
the victory is ours.  The blood of Jesus enables 
us to draw near to God and enjoy His 
protection, and we no longer have to fear the enemy.
