Your Victory Is In Him

 

"But thanks be to God, who gives us 

the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

1 Corinthians 15:57

 

To first-century leaders in the Roman world, the imagery

 was familiar: A victorious Roman general returning from

 battle leading his soldiers and the captives into the city. 

Citizens lined the streets applauding while the aroma of 

celebratory incense filling the air. Paul uses that image 

to say Christ leads His followers in a victory procession

 through every difficulty in life (2 Corinthians 2:14-15).

 

The Christian’s victory is through Christ. The victory over 

this world, the flesh, the devil, and our sin was won by the

 Cross and the empty tomb. He did for us what we cannot 

do for ourselves. We have victory now and for eternity only

 because of the victory Christ won for us. Therefore, if we 

are to experience victory in this life, it will come only as we

 depend on Him. As Paul wrote in Galatians 2:20, the life we 

now live is the life of Christ in us as we keep our faith in 

HIM.

 

If you need a victory in your life, begin every

 day by renewing your faith in Christ in whom

 all our victories are to be realized.

 

"The spiritual battle, the loss of victory,

 is always in the thought-world."

Francis Schaeffer
