Trying to overcome your sin or addiction and know that "You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God”. Rom. 13:14

Fantasizing about what you would like to have that you don’t and let "Christ take control of you, and don’t think of ways to indulge your evil desires”. Rom. 13:14

Striving, straining and struggling to live the Christian life and know "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me”. Gal.2:20

Whatever you are doing to try to live the Christian life and trust "Christ, who is your life”. Col. 3:4

Quote: The Way to Live the Victorious Christian Life is NOT to Do or Perform Anything, BUT TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!STOP....

The way to the live the Victorious Christian Life is not to do or perform anything, what a funny statement.

James 1:22 says: But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Romans 2:13 says: For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified

Luke 6:46-48 says: Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

John 13:17 says: If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Matthew 12:50 says: For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

1 John 2:3 says: And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.

James 4:17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin

Surely the way to the Victorious Christian Life is by hearing and doing?
