For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that
has overcome the world, even our faith. - 1 John 5:4
Brought out in the post Overcome Evil with Good, were some main
ideas expressed and emphasized within Romans
12:9-21. Imagine a society that obeyed these ideas. There would be much
less crime, greater health, and much more productivity in the economy.
The game plan to obeying these
ideas is to overcome evil with good by being faithful in prayer, being joyful
in hope, and devoted to one another in brotherly love. If wronged, understand
that God will take care of the injustice.
The key then is to focus on
being on God’s side. My pastor Steve Ramsdell brought out in a sermon one time
that our plans do not always work out but God’s plan for us always brings victory in life.
So this day with God, let Him in
your life and allow for His power to bring hope to your future. Many of us hate
losing. We may watch our favorite sports team and at some point they lose. We
can be down for several days but with God, we never lose. There is always
victory.
Just as brought out in the song My Victory by Crowder, we gain victory
through Jesus Christ. His death on the cross was hell’s defeat. A cross meant
to kill became the secret weapon to victory.
