Weekly Spotlight: Victory It Belongs To God

Look, let’s be honest, there will always be men and women who equate our victory that we have as believers in God through Jesus Christ as a life that is winning. This equity comes in the form of superficiality and emotionalism. They speak of winning, overcoming, or victory as if it is a lifestyle of vanity built around financial and material favor from God. The more we mature in Christ through the Word of Christ the less we look at God as a geni in a bottle, and come to set our affections on the things in heaven and less on the things of earth. 1 John 5:4-5 plainly lets us know that our victory over the world lies in our faith in God, and not in ourselves.
