Every human goes through periods of discouragement and times of feeling defeated…but according to God’s Word, which reveals the big picture of life…we win! Let’s take a quick look at some of the proof from God’s Word.
Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. We Win…
7 For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; 8 for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. Romans 14:7-8 NASB
Regardless of whatever we face in life, we win…
7 But we have this treasure in earthen containers, so that the extraordinary [greatness] of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; 8 [we are] afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying around in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who live are constantly being handed over to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh. 12 So death works in us, but life in you. 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 NASB
The Lord is our Champion and fights the enemy with us and for us. We win…
Through God we will do valiantly,
And it is He who will trample down our enemies.
Psalm 108:13 NASB
God leads us in triumph. We win…
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14 NASB
Absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God. We win…
37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39 NASB
We are overcomers by virtue of the blood of Jesus Christ, by virtue of our own testimonies, and by virtue of not forsaking Christ even when faced with the possibility of death. We win…
And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life [even] when faced with death. Revelation 12:11 NASB
Reality is that we are not defeated by the enemy or His lies because we follow THE Conqueror, Jesus Christ. Bottom line? We win!
