Life can be compared to a
ball game. Life’s struggles. Life’s loses. Life’s
victories.
Scripture Text:
1John 5:3 This is love for
God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone
born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the
world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who
believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
1.
Obey His Commands and accept God’s invitation to be on His team.
The
coaches: are God and the Holy
Spirit through the Word. He gives
the command. Shows His love.
Doesn’t give hard or troublesome commands, but shows us the way to life and
victory. He allows you to
make the choice. God has drafted
you. Will you accept? Accept Him as your coach and follow His commands for your
life.
2.
Have Faith in God to win the victory over the world.
We
must place our faith and trust in the Lord.
We must experience a new birth.
John
3:3 God knows how to give the
best to His children. He wants to
give the best to you. Will you
trust him? Will you have faith in
Him? He will enable you to be a
winner. The perfect example of this is Jesus.
He trusted His Father, which led Him to die on the cross for you.
Then on the third day God raised Him from the dead.
Jesus has won and He wants to make you a winner.
Will you have faith in His plan for you life?
3.
Believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
This is the victory.
Many
people believe in a god, but do you believe that Jesus is the Son of the
living God. There are many teams
in this world that call your name. Many
paths a person can take, but not all lead to eternal life and victory.
There is only one that leads to heaven.
The creator of heaven and earth has declared that He is the way, the
truth, and the life. He said
there is no other way to come to the Father, but by me.
There is only one true team. Will
you be on His team?
Do
you want to be on a winning team? Do
you want to win in your life?
Here
is the play it is God’s love for you. How
do you see it?
The
victory is our faith.
This
is how to win. Listen to the
coach, be on the team, follow through, glove on the ground, swing hard, run
like crazy, step on the plates. Shake
hands! Love God and live for the
Lord.
