Victory In and Through Christ

A quick one

Revelation 3:21 [AMP]
[21]He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne.

First thing to note, is that, the victory of Christ, which is seen in the resurrection, is the victory of the believer in Christ.

Apostle John said it clearly, that the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God, has the Victory; has overcome the world, and therefore, has overcome the evil one.

1 John 5:4-5 [AMP]

[4]For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
[5]Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]/?

So, in spite of what may play out in the natural, nothing erases the reality of the saint in Christ, as the Victorious one.

In the words of Jesus, “The victorious one will sit with Him upon His throne”.
This is not necessarily in the future, as much as it has already become the present reality of the child of God.

Let’s see what Apostle Paul had to say to this

Ephesians 2:5-6 [AMP]

[5]Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation).
[6]And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

THUS, the present, ever current reality of the believer, is that he/she is seating right now with Christ, in the heaven.

By reason of being saved, the default setting of the child of God, is, VICTORY.
Our being saved has brought us into seating with Christ in glory. That is, in the heaven.
It is not what we are again aiming for, as much as it is what the LORD has achieved for us. Ours, is to rest in what He has DONE.

Christ’s victory, is the victory of the church
His life, is our life.
His resurrection, is our resurrection
In His glorification, He has glorified His church.

What seems to be in a distant future, is now here. And it’s the believers reality, in spite of happenings and situations in the natural.

Our spiritual DNA spells VICTORY.

That’s Jesus’ work, in US.
