God has made some tremendous promises to His born again children. We don’t have to live in defeat.
— We are no longer slaves to sin, the flesh and the devil. —- “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace,” Rom. 6:14.
— We have been made “new creatures” in Jesus Christ. —- “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new,” 2 Cor. 5:17.
— We have been given the “divine nature”. —- “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust,” 2 Pet. 2:4.
— We are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, Who teaches us about the dangers of sin and about the blessings of holiness. —- “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth...” John 16:13.
— God has promised the victory to His children. —- “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ,” 1 Cor. 15:57.
