You're more than Winner


You're more than Winner - Word of God
Who will bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies, who is to condemn? Jesus Christ is who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, which is on the right of God, and intercedes for us Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written: For thy sake we are killed all day, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor future, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:33 to 39
You are more than conquerors!
You're more than winning!
Remember the Olympics?
You remember the athletes who participated and who were champions?
Remember the record of 100 meters, the sprinter Usain Bolt?
Remember the winner of the marathon, Samuel Wanjiru?
Remember the winner of the women's long jump Maurren Maggi?
They were the world's best athletes in their respective sports, they are the great Olympic champions!

You know you have a podium peremiação of three places:
The central, highest, is intended to champion athlete, the right part, lower than the first, for the second place and left part, lower than the previous two is for the athlete who came in third.
When the champion rises to receive his prize he goes to the highest level, he receives flowers, sometimes receives a laurel wreath symbolizing victory and finishing touches to the award ceremony the national anthem of the country he is representing there.
It's fantastic!
It is a glory!
It's an Honour!
You know what that means?
Nothing!
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break through nor steal . For where your treasure is, there will your heart. Matthew 6:19 to 21
For us more than conquerors, that means absolutely nothing. Neither of these gold, nor honors, nor status, nor the great fortunes, nor doctorates, nor masters, nor titles, nor the great posts, or mansions, or the big companies ... Nothing!

None is superior to the highest place and higher than the Lord set apart for us, a place far above the high places of the world. A special place that He will give us in his holy place and in their glory. So we are more than conquerors, for the victories and glories of this world are temporary and our crown, unlike them, is imperishable, it is not destroyed, will not ever.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you that the power of God are guarded through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time, the which greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you grieved by various trials, so that the testing of your faith, more precious than gold that perishes, though tested by fire, to praise and honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, ye love, in whom, though now the green , yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1: 3-9

So we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus!
Glory to God
