The first step to
living a victorious life in Christ is to consider ourselves dead to sin. We must have an attitude that sin no longer
is able to lord it over us. We must take
a positive outlook on our spiritual lives.
We must see ourselves as no longer powerless against sin. We must know that we can say no to sin and
walk away from it. We must see ourselves
as better than victims of sin. We must
develop a negative attitude about sin; it is our enemy, not our friend.
The other essential step
to victory is for us to see ourselves as able to live for the glory of God
through Christ. We must know that we can
stand strong and true. We can please God
in the way we live. We can overcome the
sins that plague us. We can live in such
a way that both God and man know we are children of God. We must know that in Christ we can resist any
temptation. We can be useful servants of
Christ.
Don’t let Satan
deceive you into thinking that you are too weak, that you can’t live in
victory. He knows you can and he will do
everything he can to keep you from believing it. There is great victory and great things in
store for all who overcome.
You can’t do it
alone. You need the help of the Holy
Spirit to guide you into truth and empower you to do it. You also need the support of other believers
as you strive to overcome sin. You are
not alone in your struggles. Many have
already gone through what you are going through or are now going through
it. It’s no shame to admit you are weak
and need help; the shame is to not admit it and try to go it alone and fail.
