“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
(Romans 8:37)
We sing “Onward Christian Soldiers, marching as to war,” but so often when Satan mounts an attack against us, we behave as if we were prisoners of war, or worse, conscientious objectors!
But as Christians, we don’t have to live defeated lives. God wants us to live victorious lives; lives that are constantly conquering sin.
There is only one way to have victory over sin. That is to walk so closely with Christ that sin no longer dominates your life. It becomes the exception rather than the rule.
Why does a close walk with Christ make the difference? Simply this: the closer we are to Christ, the farther we are from Satan. The Bible says, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:7-8). Is the devil farther away from you today than he was a week ago or yesterday? If not, why not?
These are strange if not scary times we are living in. Yet only by a life of obedience to the voice of the Spirit, by a daily dying to self, by a full dedication to Christ and constant fellowship with Him are we enabled to live a godly life and have a positive influence on this present ungodly world.
Is the world changing you……or are you changing the world?
One final thought on our world situation, “Greater is He that is in us, than the virus that’s in the world.” (1John 4:4, The Walworth Version)
I hope that we are able to worship together very soon.!
Enjoy the weather and God’s presence,
Pastor John
