FAILING TO ACHIEVE VICTORY 1

1 Corinthians 15:50-54 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. (51) Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, (52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (53) For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. (54) So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

INTRODUCTION: Once we are saved we are to become Spiritual beings, striving to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Some day we will be completely victorious when we receive our glorified bodies and become incorruptible. Even death will be defeated by the blood of Jesus Christ.

Saved people have the benefit of the Holy Spirit dwelling within them from the moment of salvation. The Holy Spirit will guide us in Truth and keep us walking close to Jesus if we will let Him. Sadly though, many Christians today are failing to live a life of Victory. In the next few devotionals I will discuss our reasons for failure.

I hope you receive a blessing and enjoy this series of devotionals. It is my desire that you, as well as I, have a closer walk with our Lord because of them.
