What would it be like living your life knowing that you could never fail?
“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”
1 Corinthians 15:57-58
If you are in Christ, you are not and never will be a failure! It is because you are united with Christ in His ULTIMATE VICTORY over sin and death, which are the ultimate failures. And you have the VICTOR living in you.
The result of this grace of God will be standing firm and fully giving ourselves to serving our Father because then, nothing we do will be useless. The favor of the Lord is on the work of our hands.
And even if we fumble in our work, we are never failures because our victory is not based on the results of our efforts. It is firmly established in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
“Hallelujah, You have won the victory
Hallelujah, You have won it all for me
Death could not hold you down
You are the Risen King
Seated in majesty
You are the Risen King”
The Anthem by Planetshakers
from the All For Love album

So in other words! BE A victor And not a Victim
Yes, better yet, “KNOW that IN CHRIST, I am already a victor because He is a Victor already”.
When you are in christ, you gain not only when you win but also even when you lose.
Very well said, bro!
I’m really amazed to think that I already have the victory in Christ even though I haven’t done any righteous deed. It is only by grace through faith. Thanks Ernie for reminding me of this truth.

i seemed to have failed in my financial life and i was believing that maybe God is angry with me because i am a failure…i have done everything wrong and even though i keep on praying there is still no answer from God, only Him can rescue me from all my debts…when i read your blog i was awaken to my mistaken belief that maybe God is angry with me…I love the Lord and He loves me so…thank you for your The cure for Spiritual Burn out and condemnation and the Victory article…God is good..he loves me and cares for me and has already made me a victor…I will live as a Victor for my God.
