IT TAKES TWO

IT TAKES TWO
Christian Victors, Christians Champions, Christian Conquerors, Christian Overcomers are the result of two wills converging, and one will being transformed by and then conformed to the other will.

The Person and will of the God (in the Holy Bible) is the catalytic required for human success, transcendence. God is the eternal and supreme Being, Who needs nothing and needs no one. It is His nature and power that redeems and purifies the human nature, when it is surrendered to Him.

God created mankind in His Own image. Though sin has marred, corrupted, ruined that image and likeness, God created man with a nature that provides for Divine transformation and habitation and empowering. God created us with a free will, which enables us, by His grace, to choose or refuse the Salvation and Lordship of Christ.

* Some people never even consider placing their faith in Christ.
* Some people consider placing their faith in Christ, but choose against it.
* Some people place their faith in Christ, for a season, but then choose to not follow Christ.
* Some people place their faith in Christ, but never reach all that God has for them, because there is a small, unenlightened, undiscovered part of their understanding.
Since these people are so much more in tune with God than the average person, they sometimes people see themselves (and may be seen by others) as spiritual heroes of the faith.
* Then there are a few people, who place their faith in Christ, and then choose to follow Christ fully, throughout their lives.

VICTORY OR VICTUALS
They are Justified by faith, and Sanctified Entirely by faith.
They see their total surrender as the beginning of their journey with God, and therefore they move on to perfection by...
* Denying themselves, Taking up their cross daily, Following Jesus fully.
* Decreasing, so that Christ might increase.
* Walking constantly, continuously, consistently in the light that God gives them.
* Living in the power and purity of the Holy Spirit.
* Growing in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
* Producing the Fruit of the Spirit.
* Diligently adding to their faith and virtue and knowledge and temperance, and patience and godliness and brotherly kindness and perfect love.

In order to be part of this order of servants, we need to humble ourselves and take advantage of all the means of grace available.

Remember, victory is the birthright of every believer, but some believers sell it for a mess of beans.
