Mar 4, 2007 - Loving Your Life

Mar 4, 2007

Rev 12:11 BBE
(11) And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death.
Bible in Basic English

There are three things that will give use the ability to overcome Satan. And if we are to be good Christians we need all three.

• The blood of the Lamb - Today, if you do not know Jesus as your savior, now is the time. You are only promised today, not tomorrow. Throw away your past, it is gone. Jesus came so that you can have life more abundantly today. It is your choice, it will be the start of the testimony to others that you truly love Jesus.
  
• The word of your witness - a witness tells what they have seen or heard when they are asked. What have you seen in your walk with Jesus. Have you seen peace in your life? Have you seen miracles happen? Have you heard the Word preached to you? You can tell others about your life.
  
• Loving not their lives - this has to be the hardest one. Our bodies want what will satisfy them and will often do things to just take it. How much the body wants things will lead to addictions that make it harder to stop us wanting to love our bodies more. You can use the blood of the lamb and the witness to take care of the third, but you have to want to do it.
