1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith.
Yesterday we looked at the wonderful story of Jesus being so impressed with faith that's reaching out and believing His Word.
So today we're looking at why faith so important. It's because it is the victory over the world and whatever comes against us. So logically the more we develop our faith the more victory in life we shall walk in. More faith - more victory.
It's Jesus victory that has overcome the world and it's our faith in His finished work at the cross that brings us daily, moment by moment victory.
We don't have faith in our faith. We have faith in all that Jesus has already done for us. He is the Victor over satan and all his works and we get to partake of Jesus' victory when we believe in Him and His Word. We get to enter into Jesus' victory by our faith. No wonder our faith pleases God. It's giving all the credit to His most precious Son Jesus, all the glory to Him.
Every time we stand in faith we defeat the enemy and his face is pushed to the ground beneath our feet, and Jesus gets the glory. We're enforcing what Jesus has bought and paid for on our behalf with His life blood. Glory to God, doesn't that make you want to jump up and down?
We get the victory - He gets the glory! I like that don't you?
If ever you're tempted to think it's too much effort to stand in faith for something, just remember how much effort it took for Jesus to go to the cross so you could! He did it all for us so we can put our best foot forward and declare we're going to bring some glory to Jesus today and stand in faith for something.
We can declare "I am a victor, not a victim in any situation. Jesus has bought and paid for my victory already so I take the Victory and give all the glory to Jesus." Amen.
