Jesus Promised Victory
Why Does It Seem So Elusive?
Are you frustrated with trying to live the Christian life? Do your struggles with sin discourage you? Have you been taught you can't ever win the battle . . . that as long as you are living, you will fall short? Jesus told people to sin no more. Rather than tell them the struggle with sin and Satan would be difficult, He said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Jesus doesn't ask us to do the impossible. Ken Gould rejected distorted teachings about God and was an atheist for twenty years, until God revealed His existence to him. Afterward, he recognized Christianity wasn't something to be taken lightly. His highest priority became to know God and understand His counsel. Gould says, "It is possible to live a godly life in victory. What we believe about God affects our ability to live a victorious life." In this guidebook on living in God's victory, learn: How to cooperate with God to attain the victory He has for you. How our definition of sin can remove frustration and allow us to live a godly life. How believing lies about God keeps us from escaping our rebellious, sinful attitudes. The interaction between natural laws and sin. "God's truth sets us free from Satan's slavery and it's lies about God that keep us trapped."
