To have victory in Jesus, we need, with God’s grace at work in

and through us, to obey all His commandments. So first we must

acknowledge the truths in His Word. Then we must choose to act on

them, believing for God’s empowerment to live according to His

will, not ours. 

What is needed is that we combine our belief with

action - that we purpose to obey the truths contained in God’s Word

from our hearts. Only from the vantage point of commitment is

God’s power made available to us to live the saved life. This power

comes through the Divine Nature that we, in Christ, are partakers of.
