Our Victory in Christ.
from Dr Skye
Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shall eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. (Psalms 128:1-2)
We are to show the world our purpose to be citizens of Paradise. Let no careless, irreverent expression come from our lips. What we say in the world will be marked with special consequence if it corresponds with what we say in church. Our attitudes, our words, our spirit, are constantly making an impression upon those with whom we associate.
Satan is always offering to every soul the kingdoms of this world in return for the carrying out of his will. This was the great inducement to Christ in the wilderness of temptation. And so he says to Christ followers- "If you will follow my business methods, I will reward you with wealth." - Every Christian at sometime is brought to the test that will reveal any weak points of character. If the temptation is resisted, one has gained precious victories. In Satan last bold attempt to overcome Christ, the Saviour met him with the words__"Get thee hence, Satan: For it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shall serve." Hitherto the Saviour's response to his temptation had been to command the tempter to depart, and Satan leaves Him, defeated where he had hoped for a victory.
Those who purchase success at the fearful price of submission to the will of Satan, will find that they have made a hard bargain. Everything in satan's trade is secured at a very high price. The advantages he presents are a fearful, deceptive mirage. The promises high hopes he holds out are secured at the loss of things that are good, holy, and pure. Let Satan always be confounded with the words... "It Is Written!"
Those who enter the kingdom of heaven will be those who have reached the highest standard of moral obligation. Those who have not sought to hide the truth, or to deceive, those by whom God has been exalted and His Word defended.
