The Victorious Life

(Rom 7:24 Moffatt NT) Miserable wretch that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
 (Rom 7:25 Moffatt NT) God will! Thanks be to him through Jesus Christ our Lord!.....) 

Do you truly desire to be an overcomer ? Are you tired of the kind of Christian life that you live?
Have you come to the end of your rope after failing so miserably in your striving for victory that you cry out,
"Miserable wretch that I am! Who will rescue me . . . ?" (Rom. 7.24) Be assured that your salvation is near at hand!!!
" God will! Thanks be to him through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (v.25). For the life that is victorious is not attained, but obtained.
It is not a life changed, but rather a life exchanged. It is not suppression, only expression. It is frankly not in you yourself,
because it is in Christ who lives in you. The life which God gives and you receive at the time you believe in His Son Jesus Christ
is such a life. It is a life that overcomes sin, provides intimate communion with God, and is full of satisfaction and power.
It is already in you, waiting to be explored by you. The secret towards experiencing its power is to let go of yourself and
let Christ live instead of you. This requires a childlike faith. Then shall you more than conquer through Him who loves you.
