"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”1 John5:12
“O victory in Jesus, My Saviour, forever, He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew him and all my love is due Him, He plunged me to victory, Beneath the cleansing flood.”
Victory in Jesus
When I was saved at the age of thirty-six I was not familiar with the hymns. To me a hymn was what my mom did to my pants when I was growing up so my pant legs would not drag on the ground. But that all changed a short while after I was saved. I remember sitting in the pew at Lifeway Baptist Church on a Sunday morning and the man who was leading the music called out page #341- Victory in Jesus, and as the piano took off and five hundred plus voices began to sing I nearly jumped out of my seat and came unglued! I didn’t know the melody and was not familiar with the words. Those words began to tell my story; the story of my sins and my glorious Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ!! I felt like grabbing that Christian flag and taking off running around that place. My friend it was so fresh in my heart; in my soul and in my mind of who I was when I called on the Lord Jesus to save me. I was not that far removed from being that ungodly and wretched man who was dead in his trespasses and sins.
I never ever want that fire to be extinguished. I want it to burn white hot for as long as my Lord has me upon this earth. The saving of my soul is just as real and powerful to me today than it ever has been. How about you? Has your zeal for the Saviour and the saving of your soul faded? Take the time to look back and remember who you were and where it was you were headed before you were gloriously, victoriously and eternally saved. Victory… Sweet Victory!
