Living for God: Victory in Jesus

Saturday, April 25, 2015

I just finished studying 1 Peter. If you're interested, you can check out my notes I've posted on this blog :). This hymn/song seems like a perfect conclusion to my study. In 1 Peter, Peter tried to encourage the persecuted Christians to keep having a Christlike attitude, standing firm in the faith, pressing on as servants of God, entrusting themselves to the Just Judge, embracing an eternal perspective, and relying on God since we believers already have victory in Jesus and are guaranteed to receive the eternal glory after our perseverance through pain and sufferings. "Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15:57) This song just makes me want to dance with joy :)! I hope your heart will be encouraged.

Arlee Bird said...: I've always liked this hymn. Never heard it done quite this fast before. Interesting version.

"If we can trust God for our eternal salvation, how can we not trust Him to provide for the "little" things of life?" ~M.E.Howard
"It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent." ~Jeremy Taylor
"It is not the ship in the water but the water in the ship that sinks it. So it is not the Christian in the world but the world in the Christian that constitutes the danger. Anything that dims my vision of Christ, or takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps my prayer life, or makes Christian work difficult, is wrong for me, and I must, as a Christian, turn away from it." ~J. Wilbur Chapman
"It is unjust to share the Gospel of Jesus repeatedly to people who have already heard when there are those who have not heard the Gospel of Jesus even once." ~Eric (my husband)
