"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
'In all these things' refers to v.34 "shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" Shall these things separate us from the love of Christ?
On one hand we have 'love of Christ' which in the sight of God is what our physical body can quite comprehend but it is faith given its full scope ,- so trust explains our part,- and intercessory aspect of faith is on the other pinion, of our being hid in Christ and it is what the Spirit shall attend to. In vv.26-27 we have this assurance," but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered./And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God".Without faith on our part this love of Christ is merely eyewash. It is not our flesh but faith that makes the connection.Both man and angel have equal part as this verse explains, "Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast."(Ps.57:1)
Significance of "In the shadow of thy wings" is same as in the Song of Moses,"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty./I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust."
There is only one measurement in the world of the Spirit, to which we have been called according to his purpose. So the love of Christ is interchangeable with that of God. This explains the fulness of God in Christ. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,"(v.28)
Without doing the will of God all these profession of faith is merely lip service."Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?

In the second para instead of 'can' read as 'cannot' quite comprehend.
