Remember </strong><u><strong>Who</strong></u><strong> You Are. </strong>“we are more than conquerors”</p> <p>To conquer something or someone is to gain or acquire mastery by force. To be a winner, a victor.</p> <p>“More than conquerors” means super, far above.</p> <p>Rome was a city of conquerors. They were used to parades and celebrations of victories.</p> <p>As a believer you are equipped to deal with whatever life brings to you.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>II. Rejoice In </strong><u><strong>Whose</strong></u><strong>You Are. </strong>“through Him”</p> <p>Because of Jesus believers have at their disposal the resources of heaven.</p> <p>You are a part of God’s family. In you flows the rich, royal blood of heaven.</p> <p>There’s never a time heaven loses sight of you.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>III. Ravish In </strong><u><strong>Why</strong></u><strong>You Are. </strong>“who loved us”</p> <p>“Loved us” is in past tense. That takes us back to one act that happened in the past that proves His love – the cross.</p> <p>God’s love for us can’t let go and won’t let go.</p> <p>Believers are “loved” people. We’ve been caught in His love, tied up, wrapped up and one day we’re going up.</p> <p><br></p> <p><u><strong>CONCULSION:</strong></u></p> <p>Whatever you’re going through know this. Jesus stands on the other side of the tomb holding up two nail-scarred hands.</p> <p><em>He is telling you – I love you – I’m for you.</em></p> <p><em>Live like a winner!</em></p>
