Love. The emotion that is most talked about in society. It is easy to turn on the radio or television and listen to things like: "Everything you need is love," "Love went away," or "How I wish I did not love you." But... what does the present society know about love?
As society has told me so many times, it seems that love comes to our lives in an unexpected way. Suddenly, without being able to avoid it, it installs itself in our heart and acts for us. It makes us feel uncontrollable impulses, causes physiological symptoms, even butterflies in the stomach. And suddenly, it leaves, also without warning. Love is over.

Romans 8:35-39
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
“More than Conquerors”
This is kind of a confusing phrase, something we’ve heard a lot, but do we really know what it means for our lives? First of all, these verses are concluding chapter 8 of Romans, where Paul just finished listing off a long list of hardships that may come our way in life: tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, sword. And then comes this verse: in ALL these things, we are more than conquerors. This means we aren’t simply victorious, but we are overwhelmingly victorious.
I tried to think of a time when I felt overwhelmingly victorious, and I thought of two years ago when the Kansas City Royals won the World Series, I felt overwhelmingly victorious for weeks after that, and yet in Christ we’ve won the ultimate battle that blows the World Series out of the water. And the battle that has been won is all because God loved us SO much, He won it for us. So, because of God’s immense love, we are victorious, we are MORE than conquerors.
