Love Overwhelmingly Conquers

Our victory is Christ begins with His Love.
We have this victory as we abide in His Love.

Romans 8:35-37    NASB
Who will separate us from the love of
Christ? Will tribulation, or distress,
or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,
or peril, or sword? [v36] Just as it is
written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING
PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE
CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."
[v37] But in all these things we
overwhelmingly conquer through Him
who loved us.


The English phrase: Overwhelmingly conquer 
is the Strong's G5245 - Hypernikao (verb).
It is only found in this one reference for
the New Testament.


G5245 - Hypernikao = to be(come) more than
conqueror; to gain a surpassing victory.
There are two Root Words that Apostle Paul
used in combination for this Greek word.

From G5228 & G3538 we have Hyper & Victorious,
to carry off victory, to win the case, conquer.

What is this victory? Is it better living,
a superior lifestyle, a higher level of living
the good-life? Does the overwhelming victory
to conquer pertain to life's circumstances?

1 John 5:4    NASB
For whatever is born of God overcomes
[G3528] the world; and this is the
victory that has overcome [G3528] the
world - our faith.


The conquering victory is to keep our faith,
abiding in the love of Christ and to overcome
our trials, temptations and troubles through
Him who has redeemed us from the evil one.

The Book of Revelation has many scriptures
that contain the phrase, 'he who overcomes.'
It is our inheritance to receive THEN what
is denied us NOW.

1 John 4:17    NASB
By this, love is perfected with us,
so that we may have confidence in
the day of judgment; because as He
is, so also are we in this world.
