Authentic Victory

Sep 21, 2025    David Wood

Do you ever feel like your back is against the wall? Life is hard. How can we live in victory when the enemy keeps advancing and growing stronger? The battle is real, the struggle is intense, and sometimes it feels like there’s no way out. But do you want real, lasting victory in your life? That’s exactly the question John raises in this passage. When the world presses in and doubt, deceit, and worldliness threaten to crush us, God steps in with deliverance. John reminds us that victory doesn’t come from fighting harder in our own strength but from trusting in God’s Son. What we need for eternal life, confidence, and overcoming power isn’t found in ourselves—it’s found only in Jesus Christ. And here’s the good news: God specializes in turning impossible situations into victories.
