Romans 8:37 : Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. "In all these things"--the sufferings and hardships just mentioned. "More than conquerors"--if we successfully endure all these things, we have done more than merely to triumph over them; we have made a decided gain in Christian character. In conquering we have grown in character and in favor with God. Hence, even the evil things with which our enemies meant to crush us may be so used as to work to our good.
