You Are More Than A Conqueror

Romans 8:37

You Are More Than A Conqueror

We all go through hardships in our lives, we face trials we think we cannot get through, and we feel alone. We let this brainwash us into thinking we aren't capable of growing stronger, being happy, or even just "winning" the day. However, none of that is true.

Did you know that God thinks of you as more than a conqueror?

The dictionary definition of a conqueror is a person who conquerors or who gains a victory. In Romans 8:37 it says, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

If you are like me you probably already think of Jesus as being a conqueror. He conquered death! BUT GUESS WHAT! He thinks you are ALSO a conqueror. Being more than a conqueror is knowing that, through every trial in life, God is with you and, through him, you WILL overcome. You are NOT alone.

Steven Chapman sings in one of his hit songs, "We are more than conquerors, we are more than conquerors. God, if You are for us who can be against us? What can separate us from Your love?"

Yes, YOU are more than a conqueror. Nothing this world throws at you can separate you from God and his love. Start living your life like you are more than a conqueror because God already thinks you are.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
