Last night we watched the local soccer team Liga de Loja play. They easily won 4-1 and clinched a spot to move up to the next division to play with the "big boys". After every goal that was scored, fans chanted, waved flags, and generally went crazy. The stadium was packed and the atmosphere electric. After the game, long lines of cars were honking, celebrating the victory. This was just one soccer game victory. Spiritually speaking, God has given us the victory through his Son, Jesus Christ. The victory of eternal life is so much important than a victory at a soccer game.
"To love God means that we obey his commandments. Obeying his commandments isn’t difficult because everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world. Who wins the victory over the world? Isn’t it the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?" (I John 5.3-5)
