Many of us battle
daily the forces of evil as our enemy, Satan, comes hard at us. This morning as
I was reading in Revelation I came upon a verse that speaks to us and reminds
us how to have victory over the devil no matter what he throws at us.
Revelation 12:11
They conquered him by
the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not love
their lives in the face of death.
This reminded me of
another scripture reading. No matter what you are up against today if you are a
Christian you need not fear anything, even death.
Romans 8:31-39
What then shall we
say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not
spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him
graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?
It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who
died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed
is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall
tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger,
or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day
long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we
are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither
death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be
able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Christians you are
covered by the Blood of the Lamb, so even in the face of death you need not
fear. Nothing, no NOTHING can separate us from the love of Christ.
