What is Christian Victory?

Plodcast 210: God’s Path to Victory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTVEOyqnbk8

Matthew Henry Commentary Hebrews 12: https://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/matthew-henry-complete/hebrews/12.html

• “We want our blessings from God like we get coffee from a drive through coffee joint – we want it hot and we want it now.” – Douglas Wilson

• “God’s path to victory is no fun. We need to know it’s not suppose to be fun, which in fact, makes it fun.”

• “Baskets of fruit are heavy.”

• No discipline seems pleasant at the time.

• As soon as we understand how tough it’s going to be, we know it will be WORTH WHILE.

• The difficulty is worth it because there IS victory.

• God arranged it this way for a reason.

• We should not misapply a culture of instant gratification to the Lord.

• God uses hardships and labor and trials on the path to victory.

  • to make us holy

  • to show His glory

  • to produce a peaceable fruit of righteousness

So what does Christian victory look like?

Holiness.

Conformity to Christ.

And a growing strength to not grow weary and lose heart.
