“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”
1 John 4:4 NLT
Everyone one of us likes to believe that we have the ability to spot a real bargain, gaining something of great worth for a low cost. We like to buy stocks cheap and then watch them grow in value. We buy houses we think have real potential and location at below market price for we know such buys will produce sizable equity. We like to pick winners! We also like to know if we are on the right side of issues and we have picked correctly the lives we live!
Isn’t it grand to know that our relationship with God produces such awesome results? We choose Jesus as our Savior and our whole equation turns upside down. We go from being lost and condemned to being redeemed and adopted in God’s family. We go from having no hope for our future to one that is both grand and eternal. We go from being on the losing side to victory by accepting the greatest gift of love ever offered. We have made the absolute best investment of our entire lives.
The Word tells us that by belonging to God we have won the war, we are victors! It says that greater is He that lives within us than the spirit that lives in the world. In a life where they say there are no guarantees, we have found one that makes us overcomers, more than conquers because of who we are in Him, our Savior Jesus Christ!
We don’t have to hunt for what is best for us and worry about the future for we already have it dwelling within us. Want the best for your life, say yes to Jesus and live a life of real victory!
In Christ
