Difference Between Viewpoint of God & Men The World, Persecutors & Oppressors Seen as Conquerors God, Oppressed & Persecuted are Viewed as Conquerors Servants of Him Who said, “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

How is the Christian Victorious? Death is Swallowed up in Victory-Death is Swallowed up in Victory- –1 Corinthians 15:54-57 –“God Who gives us the Victory Through our Lord Jesus Christ.” –Revelation 1:18; Hebrews 2:15

How is the Christian Victorious? Victory That Has Overcome The WorldVictory That Has Overcome The World –1 John 5:4 –Jude 3; Acts 6:7 –1 John 5:1,2,5 –John 16:33

How is the Christian Victorious? 1 John 4:3,41 John 4:3,4 –“He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” Either Overcome The World OR Be Overcome By The WorldEither Overcome The World OR Be Overcome By The World

John 16:33 “in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, cheer, I have overcome the world.” Whatever the World throws at us, we can Still Have Peace & Be Of Good Cheer

1 Peter 5:7 “cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” Psalm 37:25 1 Corinthians 10:13 How can we claim VICTORY when at times it seems we are WORSE OFF than the most UNGODLY in the world?

More Than Conquerors With Little Loss - the dross gold loses in the furnace - a body of the earth With Great Gain - glory, honor, peace & an unfading crown of Righteousness

No External Force Can Separate Us From The Love of God Which is In Christ Jesus We Can Choose to Separate Ourselves When We Turn a Deaf Ear to GOD & Refuse to Obey His Will! 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9

No True Victory Without Christ! With Christ We Can Stand Tall on The Mountaintop of Glory- Declared to be MORE THAN CONQURORS
