I am Victorious

Ephesians 6:10-24

What do you think would happen if you were an athlete and you knew that you had already won the game before you even started?  How do you think that would affect your performance?  Would you go through the motions?  Would you try even harder?

It’s kind of a catch 22, because you would have to play well to win and yet you knew that you already won, but still had to do what was necessary to win. That would be weird, wouldn’t it?  But in some ways that is what Jesus’ situation was like.  He was God, He knew he was going to win, yet he had to play a certain way and do it perfectly in order to have this victory.

So obviously the ultimate victory is rising from death to eternal life in Christ. But in the meantime, as there was for Christ, there is a battle waging that we have won in Christ, but still must fight.   We have won the game if we are in Him, but we still need to play and use the gifts and armor that he provides.

So, we end our series in Ephesians kind of like we started, with an emphasis on being in Christ for the victory, and that’s the only way to be labeled Victorious!
