THE VICTORY IS OURS!

 “Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: ‘Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ.  For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.  They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.’”   Rev. 12:10-11
This is our present reality.  Satan has been defeated by the power of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.  Satan can no longer accuse and attack us with impunity.  Jesus has made us acceptable to the Father.  We don’t have to worry daily about whether or not we’re good enough.  The gospel makes it clear that, of our own power, we cannot be good enough.  But, God has made us good through the death, burial, and resurrection of his holy Son, Jesus.  We have won.  The enemy has been defeated.  Our salvation is secure in God’s hands.  So let us move on with gratitude into the days God has set before us.  Remember, the victorious life is the only life we Christians know about. Grace and peace,
