"More than conquerors" Romans 8:28-39 The thought that stuns (confuses, stuns, passes), exhausts, then we lose our senses and become paralyzed. The mind wanders, roams, and is an unhappy mind. Mental rambling is associated with a network of the brain (default neural network) that always acts "when we do not have a specific goal in which to connect". Our enemy wants us to be unhappy. Therefore, the mind must be "filled with the Word of God." Do not let the thought wander.

I. We are warriors of this life, to establish what our divine God wants to do.

A. Are you willing?

1. God is making everything cooperate for the good of those who "love Him" of those who have been called according to His purpose.

2. You're not just anyone, keep that in mind. Take it, hold it.

3. Even if it does not seem like that in the difficult moment of living and you wonder what will come out of what I am living.

4. Everything God allows into our lives is willing to "mold" us into the image of His Son.

5. When we manage to see this, our questions are eliminated, which we take to prayer.

6. Our lives are not controlled by impersonal forces such as chance, luck, but by our wonderful personal Lord, who is "too loving" (intense love) not to be kind and too wise to make mistakes, with you He is not wrong in anything, be happy and takes you from His protective hand, do not hesitate. a.) wandering from one part to another.

7. (Romans 8:29) Now Paul follows the majestic scope of the divine program arranged to "bring" "many children to glory"!

8. First of all, God knew us in advance (ahead of time) in eternity past." Wow.

9. And it is not mere intellectual knowledge.

10. As far as knowledge was concerned, He knew all those who would ever be born!

11. But His anticipated knowledge encompasses only those whom He "predestined to be 'modeled' after the image of His Son."

12. So, it was a knowledge that could never be frustrated.

13. It is not enough to say that God "knew in advance" those whom He saw would one day repent and believe.

14. In reality, it is His anticipated knowledge that "secures" repentance and ultimate beliefs.

15. That ungodly sinners were one day to be transformed into the "image of Christ" by a miracle of grace is one of the most amazing "truths" of divine revelation."

16. We will be morally like Him, absolutely free from sin and we will possess glorified bodies like His.

17. On that day of glory, He will be the firstborn among many brothers.

18. Firstborn here means the first in rank and honor.

19. He would not be One among equals, but the One who holds the supreme place of honor among His brothers and sisters.

20. (Romans 8:30) Everyone who was "predestined" in eternity, it was a century of a century that you were pointed out to be a soldier of the Firstborn Son of God. For this reason, you are a warrior, you are not someone else, this (you) also called in time.

21. This means not only that he hears the Gospel, but that he also responds to it.

22. That is why it is an effective call.

23. And all those who respond, "to these He also justified: they are given an absolutely just position before God."

24. They are clothed (covered, joined to) by the righteousness of God through the merits of Christ and are by it, fit for the presence of the Lord.

25. Whatever you live, you walk in the active dynamites, you are clothed with the justice of God through the merits of our Jesus, you are fit for the presence of the Lord, because then united to Him you must not fear, but be a soldier prepared to live fighting.

26. "And to those He justified, to these He also glorified."

27. Actually, we are not yet glorified (for that reason, we live as warrior soldiers), but it is so certain that God can use the time spent discovering it (when He planned your election in eternity).

28. We are as sure of our glorified state as if we had already received it!

29. This is one of the most energetic passages in the New Testament about the eternal security of the believer.

30. For every million people who are known in advance and "predestined" by God, each of this million will be called, justified, and glorified.

31. Not one will be missing!

32. (Romans 8:31) Considering these unbreakable verses in the golden chain of redemption, the conclusion is inevitable.

33. Do not hesitate: "If God is for us in the sense that He has 'pointed us out for Himself', then 'no one' "can stand 'against us' with any 'success'.

34. If omnipotence is working on our behalf, no lower power can defeat His program. Amen. (Nothing to doubt or fear).

35. (Romans 8:32) Skimping = giving as little as possible or spending the minimum, decreasing, limiting.

36. When a world with a lost humanity "needed to be saved by a sinless Substitute, the great God of the universe did not retain the best Treasure from His heart but delivered it to public shame and humiliation on our behalf."

37. If God has already given us the greatest gift, will there be any lesser gift that He does not want to give us?

38. He has already paid the highest price; will He have any hesitation in paying a lower price?

39. If God has gone to the greatest extreme so that we would be saved, will He ever let us go?

40. How can He not also give us all things with Him?

41. Mackintosh said: "The language of unbelief is: How will He do it? The language of faith is: How can He not do it?

42. (Romans 8:33) We still have a court as a stage, but now a dramatic change has taken place.

43. The justified sinner is in front of the stand and a call is given for any accuser to come forward.

44. Is there none?

45. And how could it be?

46. If God has justified His elect, who will accuse?

47. Who will accuse God's elect?

48. "Nobody", because "God is the one who justifies.

49. (Romans 8:34) There is another challenge!

50. Is there anyone here who convicts?

51. No one, the reason, "Christ is the one who died" for the accused has risen from the dead and is now "at the right hand of God", "interceding" for him. (For you).

52. If the Lord Jesus, to whom every judgment has been entrusted, does not pronounce judgment on the accused, but prays for him, then there is no one else who can have any valid reason to condemn him.

53. (V. 35) Faith is launching its latest challenge: Is there anyone who can separate the justified "from the love of Christ?

54. A search is made for some adverse circumstance that has been effective in causing separations in all other areas of human life.

55. But none can be found.

56. Neither the crumbling scourge of "tribulation" as its "constant" strike of "anguish" (state of very intense restlessness or anxiety caused especially by something unpleasant, fear, extreme anxiety) and affliction, nor the monster of grief (intense and irrepressible grief that is externalized with crying or complaints) with all the extreme pain that it throws on the mind and body, “nor the brutality of persecution." Nor the pale specter (ghost, image of a dead person) of "hunger" tormenting, weakening until it leaves on the skin and bones. Nor the "nakedness" with all that means of deprivation, to the bare sky and helpless lack of defense, no one defends you. Or "danger" the threat of imminent evil. Nor the cold, hard and deadly "sword".

57. (v. 36) (Psalm 44:22) But because of You they kill us every day; We are counted as sheep for the slaughterhouse.

58. The Christian's career "is a death in life."

59. Because of our identification with the Lord "we are dead all day and like sheep to the slaughter.

60. (V. 37) Instead of separating us from the love of Christ, these "things only bring us closer to Him."

61. We are not only victors, but more than victors.

62. It is not just that we triumph over these formidable forces, but in doing so we give glory to God, blessing others, and good for ourselves.

63. We make slaves to our enemies and rungs (step) with our obstacles.

64. But "all" this we do not achieve through our own strength, but "only" through the One who loved us."

65. Only the power of Christ can draw sweetness from bitterness, strength from weakness, triumph in the midst of tragedy, and blessing from broken heart.

66. The apostle has not finished his search.

67. It plunders (violently seizes) the entire universe now in search of something that can be conceived that can separate us from the love of God and then eliminates the possibilities one by one:

a. Death with all its terrors

b. Life with all its seductions

c. Angels

d. Principalities, supernatural in power and knowledge

e. Powers, whether human tyrants or angelic adversaries

f. The present, which harasses and overwhelms us

g. What is to come, which provokes in us frightening premonitions (future fact).

68. (Romans 8:39) Neither the high, nor the deep, those things that are in the realm of dimensions (measuring) (length, width, and height) or of space, including hidden forces. a.) environment, space, sphere.

69. Then, to ensure that nothing is left, Paul adds "nor any created thing."

70. The result of Paul's research is that he cannot find "anything that can separate us from the love of God," (because) it is in Christ Jesus our (Savior) Lord.
