Β And he said to them,Β βO foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!Β Was it not necessary thatΒ the Christ should suffer these things and enter intoΒ his glory?βΒ AndΒ beginning withΒ Moses andΒ all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. ~ Luke 24:25-27
What then shall we say to these things?Β If God is for us, who can beΒ against us?Β He who did not spare his own Son butΒ gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?Β Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?Β It is God who justifies.Β Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who diedβmore than that, who was raisedβwho is at the right hand of God,Β who indeed is interceding for us.Β Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?Β As it is written,
βFor your sakeΒ we are being killed all the day long;
Β Β Β Β we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.β
No, in all these things we are more thanΒ conquerors throughΒ him who loved us.Β For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,Β 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. ~ Romans 8:31-39

We, who are His, are in a Win-Win situation. 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.
Jesus has overcome death and He has overcome the world. No matter whether we live or die, we win, through Jesus Christ we are more than conquerors. We know He is for us and nothing can take us out of His hand. We win either way.
