Salvation is not your own work but the work of God.
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
When you are born again one of the greatest discoveries you can make is to realize that others can receive what you have, through you.
2nd Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Vs15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
The phrase, ‘triumph in Christ’ is an old word that means trophy of victory or better still, a proof of victory.
He causes us to triumph, that is, he leads us in his triumphant train.
Just like when someone wins a war and now demonstrates his victory in a victory parade.
We are the demonstration of the victory of Jesus Christ.
*WHAT VICTORY?*
Hebrews 2:14
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Colossians 2:15
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Observe that Jesus did not fight the devil to collect authority from him. The authority referred to in Hebrews 2:14 is that of sin and death.
So we have victory in Christ. The scriptures are full of the truth of our victory in Christ.
1st Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
1st John 5:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
It is not a victory that is as a result of you fighting but a victory given to you based on your identification in Christ.
Ephesians 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Vs 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Vs 19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Vs 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places, ]
Vs 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Vs 22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
Vs 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
He lets you know that Jesus’ victory when he rose from the dead was given to his body- the church.
So the believer is the trophy of Christ victory.
The triumphant train is where you show the proof of your victory, we are not just saying it, we truly are are the proofs of Christ’s victory.
Confession:
I have believed, I am the demonstration of the victory of Jesus Christ, I am the proof of Christ’s victory.
