More than Conquerors part XI

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." Rom. 8:37

"More than conquerors" means not only victory but final triumph and eternal reward. How Heaven will recompense her victors some glorious day! From four things Paul expected a crown, but the first of them was because he had fought the good fight of faith. Among the special recompenses of the Day of His Appearing there is a crown, not only for the martyr, not only for the faithful minister, not only for those who love His appearing, but for "the man that endureth temptation." "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him." There is a chance for all of you. There is a chance for you who think that you have the hardest time of any human being.  Beloved, it is but an opportunity for coronation. Will you not only triumph, but so triumph that you shall wear a crown of life in which these tears which you shed to-day shall flash as crystal diamonds, and these scars of battle shall be transformed into marks of eternal beauty and everlasting honor?
