Play From Victory

When we walk around like losers to sin, we put ourselves in a position to keep losing. When we truly believe that Jesus has won the battle over sin and He lives in us, we can hold our head high and walk in boldness as winners.

We are all born as sinners, basically working for hell in which the payment is death. The only way that we can get out of that job is to switch over by accepting God’s free gift of salvation, which gives us life. Jesus has already taken our payment of death on Himself to give us this opportunity, but we just have to receive it.

Too many times Christians back down to the cultural influences rather than taking a stand for what the Bible says is true. God promises us eternal life, so in light of that promise we have nothing on this earth to fear.

The Bible talks about different kinds of love that we can experience, but only certain kinds can we experience once we are born again. God is love, and it is only once we receive love from Him that we can have the greatest love to give back to Him and to others in all kinds of relationships.

We all face pain in our lives, whether it’s from something that happens to us or we inflict it on ourselves through sin. God’s grace covers us in our pain and brings relief, comfort and peace.

Rather than getting upset that everyone goes to Heaven as long as they make Jesus their Lord and Savior, whether it be at the beginning or end of life, we need to just be grateful that God has accepted us in the first place. He doesn’t do things because they are fair but rather for the purpose of His own glory.

Jesus tells us that we can only serve one master, and the only Master that will actually take care of us and provide all of our needs is God Himself. When we let go of serving other people or for the sake of obtaining more and more things, we can live in a state of contentment and faith that keeps us from worrying about what’s in the hands of our Master who cares deeply for us.

To become part of God’s family means that we believe in Jesus and submit to His Lordship in our lives. When we do this, our whole lives change and God works in us and through us to mold us into being more like His Son. The evidence of being in His family is that we obey Him and love one another.

The Bible warns us that the devil is constantly attacking us with the intention of devouring us. We must be in prayer for ourselves and others while also delving into Scripture and putting on the full armor of God for protection.

The Bible talks about the importance of giving money to the poor and caring for the widows and orphans. While it is not impossible for a rich person to serve God, when a poor person gives of their finances it is a big sacrifice and puts them into a position of trusting God’s provision.
