Celebrating the victory in Christ; the Lord gave us the victory through his blood. There is nothing God did not defeat for us on the cross. Jesus took it all on himself and redeemed us. While he was on the cross we were on his mind; his only will was to set us free from the bondage of sin. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). The victory is everlasting; it is finished, completely done in the name of Jesus. We are in Christ and has his sons we are to embrace all that he hath done. Knowing we have won in all that we have to face in this life is the reality we need to uphold each day. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). If you would love to receive Christ today, pray this prayer. Jesus, thank you for taking my place on the cross. I believe in the finished works of the cross and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour today. Amen

We can’t take no credit for God’s work; it is his grace that made us who we are. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). In all that we do, we must remember that God loved us before we were saints. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Roma...
