More Than...
First Paul states that we are “hypernikomen”.
Hyper is a Greek prefix meaning exceedingly, or surpassingly.
Nikeo - It’s a word we’re familiar with because of a famous shoe company, Nike, which used this word for the brand name of their shoes.
It is famously the word spoken by Pheidippides as he ran from Marathon to Athens to announce the Athenian victory.
In legend, Pheidippides whispered, “Nike” as he breathed his last.
The word means victory over something or someone.
Paul is saying to the Romans that they are victorious, but not just victorious, but that the victory is surpassing.
It’s not just a victory, it’s a total route.
Through Him...
Victory is ours, but it’s not just ours.
In fact, we’re the beneficiaries of a total victory in the same way Israel was in the battle against the Philistines in 1 Samuel 17.
Single combat is a duel between two single warriors which takes place in the context of a battle between two armies.
Known as single combat, instances of single combat are known from Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages.
The champions were often combatants who represented larger, spectator groups.
The reason for this was simple.
In the ancient world armies were made up of common-men conscripted into the army for battle.
If battle was met, then many farmers, artisans, shepherds, etc. would dies and crops would be left to rot in fields, weapons and farming implements would not be fixed or made, and children would grow up fatherless.
But in Christ, you are made victors because of his victory!
Christ, as your representative champion and you are a victor.
You are Victorious Over The World
When the Bible says the world, it is referring to the current world, the present darkness that we face.
You Are Victorious Over Sin
Secondly we are victorious over sin.
Victorious Over Self
We are not slaves to fear.
God Gives us victory over temptation.
The Spirit will Strengthen you.
