WIN THE VICTORY OVER DEATH

 The issue is not whether God can do or bless, the issue is will you receive what God freely offers? To receive the fullness of God’s blessings, you must be willing to change and become the new person that God wants you to be: someone who can receive, keep and live the blessings of God. This requires work. The Bible says that our work is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, not just believe in Jesus but to believe in all He said and did.

At the moment you allow Jesus into your heart, you win the victory over death (because you have eternal life). 

1 John 4:4 says, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater that he who is in the world.”

As long as you stay with God, you maintain that victory, but the rest of the victory will be life-long in achieving; in fact, upon conversion, your battle against evil intensifies. (Satan doesn’t like to lose; it infuriates him, so he makes big plans to destroy your resolve, to derail your effectiveness, and destroy your faith.)
