Victim or Victor

Galatians 5:16-26, Romans 6-8—Great rivalries often imply two nearly equal entities competing against each other. In the spiritual realm, that’s often described as Satan versus Jesus, light versus darkness, or the flesh versus the spirit. Because of this intense battle, most Christians fail to realize the decisive victory that is ours through Christ. Instead of standing tall as a victor, many limp to the finish line crippled by the enemy’s attack. That’s not God’s plan. That need never be our path.
