Jesus Christ is my overcomer. By faith I identify with Christ and I become an overcomer. We are “more than conquerors” through him who loved us. Our victorious Lord leads us from victory unto victory. Jesus has already purchased and won the overcoming victory and by grace through faith has given it to us. Therefore, we overcome our Enemies and victory belongs to us. Daily we repent and believe the Gospel.
Sin, Death and the Devil are the only three enemies that seek to harm us and diminish life. Their relentless and singular purpose is to steal, kill and destroy; but Jesus has come that we may have life and have it abundantly. Jesus restores the life that these enemies take away.
When Jesus says,”Love your enemies,” he is referring to human beings who are used as instruments by the real enemy (sin, death, devil). We must love, forgive, and pray for the people; but we must abhor, and not tolerate, sin and death and devil. Distinguish the source and the instrument and treat each according to God’s Word: loving and winning the people versus hating and overcoming the enemies.
Every one of the 150 Psalms refers to enemies and to the overcoming of the same. The purpose of this blog is to edify the reader by understanding how every Psalm shows Christ as my overcomer over every enemy of life.
