Victory in Christ: Standing Firm in His Finished Work
What does victory in Christ mean for believers today? Through His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ has defeated sin, death, and the powers of darkness. Although the enemy remains active, the outcome of the battle is secure because Christ has already triumphed.In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why Christians do not fight to earn victory but stand firm in the victory Christ has already accomplished through His finished work.Listeners will learn how Christ’s victory enables believers to resist fear, remain grounded in the gospel, face temptation and suffering, and live with confidence in the middle of spiritual warfare.Listen or Watch
