Guaranteed Victory
“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” - 1 John 4:4
What's the risk? Before making decisions, we often like to consider this question. Most people do not like taking risks if there is a chance they could lose something. Whether it is their time, their money, or something else, people just don’t like to risk anything.
The crazy thing is that none of it is ours to begin with. Everything we have is a gift from God. And while that does not mean that we should be poor stewards of what God has entrusted us with, it should garner our perspective on who actually owns it all anyways.
Here is the thing though...when it comes to getting back up and continuing forward, there is NO RISK. Over the last few days, we have talked about fighting on and pushing through even when life knocks us down. Whether it is life, the devil, or an actual person, when someone knocks us down, God wants us to get back up.
His story for us is not finished. God wants to use our story for His glory. But He can’t do that if we call it quits. You might be saying, “But pastor, what if...” I want to stop you right there. What you are considering is the risk of what happens if it doesn’t all work out.
But it will. When you are in Christ, you have guaranteed victory. He assures us of this in His Word. 1 John 4:4 says, “Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
Whatever you are up against, He is greater. Whatever you are facing, He is greater. Whatever has knocked you down, He is greater.
You have guaranteed victory in Him. You have nothing to lose. Because with God on your side, you cannot lose! What are you waiting for? Get back up and claim your guaranteed victory, today!
