TLE 2012: VICTORIOUS

The 2012 Total Life Encounters youth conference was February 24-25 and March 2-3 at the Country Tonite Theatre in Pigeon Forge, TN.

“For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith. Who is it that is victorious over the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”
—I John 5:4-5

“For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world…”

Victory means the winning of a battle, war, or any struggle. Therefore, the winner is VICTORIOUS. Jesus came into the world of sin and death to fight Satan and render him powerless over sin and death. Jesus died an atoning death on Calvary's cross that made a way for our sins to be forgiven. When he was resurrected from the grave, he won the victory over death and sin. In our terminology, he could say to Satan, concerning the war between good and evil, "I win!"

When we, by faith, turn to Christ as God's son, trusting in Him for life, righteousness, and salvation, we then become VICTORIOUS over the power of Satan and death. We can live in a world of evil and still be VICTORIOUS over that evil, living with no fear of death because Jesus removed that fear and has given us eternal life.
