Victory

2 Samuel 23:10, 2 Samuel 23:12, 2 Kings 5:1, 2 Kings 13:17, 1 Chronicles 11:14, 1 Chronicles 29:11, Psalm 44:4, Psalm 45:4, Psalm 98:1, Proverbs 21:31, Zephaniah 3:17, Matthew 12:20, 1 Corinthians 15:54-55, 1 Corinthians 15:57, 1 John 5:4, and finally Revelation 15:2.

If you will scroll over the above verses individually, you will notice a running theme, VICTORY. But there is something else you should notice about the above passages.  They all have a single common denominator and that is that the Lord is involved in all these instances of victory.

I cant say I have read the Bible all the way cover to cover from Genesis to Revelation. However, I have at least looked at almost every book in the Bible. Again haven't read all the books from beginning to end.  But as I read the Bible, the Bible contains many different types of action. The Bible has adventure, romance, joy, sadness, tragedy, history, drama, poetry and this is just to name a few. But there is one overriding theme and that is victory. Victory for who? For God's people.

It starts in Genesis.  We lose out on eternity with God because of the sin of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3.  In Genesis 6, sinful people, with the exception of Noah and his family are destroyed in the flood.  Genesis 11-12 then introduce us to Abram later to be known as Abraham. And this is where the story of God's people begins.

From Abraham to Moses to Jesus Christ. These three would be the leaders of the sinful people such as you and me who are looking to get back to God.

By the time we reach Revelation, through all the symbols and images in that book, we find one thing, that victory is found only in Christ through His cleansing blood that releases us from sin.  The majority of Revelation has already occurred but there is still one event that has yet to occur, the return of Jesus Christ which will bring ultimate VICTORY to His people. Do you want that victory??? Remember the passages I gave at the beginning of these thoughts. Only the Lord can give us that victory and that is through obedience to the gospel of His Son Jesus Christ.  After we have done this, we must faithfully follow Him and obey His commands found in the pages of the New Testament.

So I ask again do YOU want that ultimate victory??? Do you want to be with Christ when He returns??? Well the links I have included in the above paragraph will give you a starting point. So all that's left now is to DO SOMETHING!!! PRAY ABOUT IT!!! LOVE Y'ALL GOD BLESS!!!
