Victory

Victory: a success or triumph over an enemy in battle or war. Life is a battlefield for every Christ follower that walks on this planet. If any of us thought anything different when we signed up to follow Jesus we were sorely mistaken. Following Jesus is one fight, one battle after another and that may sound a bit intimidating or depressing, but there is very good news. Jesus Christ has already emerged victorious. His desire for us is that we would live in victory each and every day. He has overcome sin, Satan, death, and the grave to ensure that we can live in victory.

At the end of every message that Jesus sends to the seven churches of Revelation He encourages them to live in victory. He promises blessings and rewards for those who live in victory. When we were sinners, separated and dead, Jesus saved us. Now we live forgiven, connected, and alive in Jesus Christ. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Victory can be ours if we will stick close to Jesus. Victory is within our grasp when we live according to His Word. It is a fight. You can win if you are in Christ!
