How To Be Victorious

But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. Romans 8:37

O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55

But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere, 2 Corinthians 2:14

For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4

He who is victorious shall inherit all these things, and I will be God to him and he shall be My son. Revelation 21:7

We are victorious only because of Jesus. With have victory and are conquerors only because of Jesus. We always triumph only because of Christ. We are born of God, so we only enjoy victory and because Jesus ever lives to make sure that these verses come true for us, we shall inherit all things.

Think about what victory actually means. To be victorious or to enjoy victory, means that we have had to been in a battle first, or a contest, or a trial. We cannot have victory and never been through something. This is why we rejoice in our trials and persecutions, because we cannot help but to be victorious. Jesus will never allow us to know defeat. Victory does not mean that we will never be tried, we will. We will be tried a lot, but our peace is that we will never suffer defeat in our trials.  

Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. Romans 5:3
