A VICTORIOUS HEART
We are challenged by II Corinthians 13:5 to “examine ourselves, as to whether or not we are in the faith.” We are to self test. Take the examination yourself and then grade it. How did you do?
We have stated that there will be assurances of the heart.
Your heart will be marked by:
Purity
Humility
Tenderness
Obedience and finally, a Victorious heart.
I love the verse in I John 5:4 which says:
“For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the VICTORY that overcomes the world, even our faith.”
Jesus said in John 16:33 “In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, take heart, I have overcome the world.”
What great verses to challenge our hearts.
Yes, life can be stressful.
Yes, the Christian life is hard.
Yes, the road of Christianity is difficult.
But --- because Christ is in us --- and we are in Him --- we have access to strength and power and encouragement and perseverance. We can meet head on … all the trials and temptations of life and be victorious! That is part of what being a Christian is all about!
“Victory in Jesus”
