Max Lucado, in his book entitled, God Is With You Everyday, had some great insight on the promise that every believer can be triumphant in Christ on a daily basis. Enjoy it!
The triumph of Christ is not temporary. “Triumphant in Christ” is not an event or an occasion. It’s not fleeting. To be triumphant in Christ is a lifestyle . . . a state of being! To triumph in Christ is not something we do, it’s something we are.
Here is the big difference between victory in Christ and victory in the world: A victor in the world rejoices over something he did. But the believer rejoices over who he is – a child of God, a forgiven sinner, an heir of eternity.
Nothing can separate us from our triumph in Christ. Nothing! Our triumph is based not upon our feelings but upon God’s gift. Our triumph is based not upon our perfection but upon God’s forgiveness. How precious is this triumph! For even though we are pressed on every side, the victory is still ours. Nothing can alter the loyalty of God. “Triumphant in Christ.” It is not something we do. It’s something we are.
Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:57)
