Victories We Should Have In Christ Jesus โ€“ By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi

๐ŸŒบBeloved, the Bible consistently teaches that victory for believers is found through Jesus Christ, who has already overcome sin, death, and the world, and empowers believers to live in triumph through faith in Him.

๐ŸŒบThis victory is not a guarantee of a life without trials, but rather the assurance of triumph over challenges and spiritual battles through the power of God working within them.

๐Ÿ“’1 Corinthians 15:57-58 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œbut thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].โ€

๐Ÿ“’James 4:7 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โ€œSo submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.โ€

๐Ÿ“’1 Peter 5:9 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œBut resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attackโ€”rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.]โ€

๐Ÿ“’1 John 5:4-5 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œFor everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the worldโ€”our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God]. Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God.โ€

๐ŸŒบIn the middle of our struggles, the last thing that we naturally feel is victorious. But one thing that is so special that we see in this verse is that even in our deepest struggles, we have the opportunity to get to know Him more and become more like Him.

๐Ÿ“’Romans 5:3-5 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œAnd not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation]. Such hope [in Godโ€™s promises] never disappoints us, because Godโ€™s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.โ€

๐Ÿ“’Philippians 4:13 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œI can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purposeโ€”I am self-sufficient in Christโ€™s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]โ€

๐Ÿ“’1 Peter 4:16 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œbut if anyone suffers [ill-treatment] as a Christian [because of his belief], he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God [because he is considered worthy to suffer] in this name.โ€

๐ŸŒบThe same power that raised Jesus from the dead resides in believers through the Holy Spirit, enabling them to live a life of victory over sin and temptation.

๐Ÿ“’Colossians 2:13 NLT tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œYou were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.โ€

๐Ÿ“’1 Corinthians 15:57 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œbut thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.โ€

๐Ÿ“’Romans 8:37 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œYet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].โ€

๐ŸŒบBelievers are encouraged to stand firm against spiritual forces of evil, knowing that we are on the winning side because of Christ’s triumph.

๐Ÿ“’Colossians 2:15 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œWhen He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through the cross.โ€

๐Ÿ“’2 Thessalonians 3:3 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œBut the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one.โ€

The ultimate victory is attributed to Jesus’ atoning sacrifice and resurrection, which conquered death and sin, providing redemption and a new life for believers.

๐Ÿ“’Romans 8:38-39 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œFor I am convinced [and continue to be convincedโ€”beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.โ€
