There was a war already won
By Jesus making satan a defeated foe
The most important battle for man's soul
True victory comes "in Christ" please know
There's no humanistic psychology today
That can bring anyone to true victory
I myself fell victim of many purchases
When trusting in Christ finished work is victory for us
The object of our faith must be in the cross
Picking up our cross daily as a reminder to us
Man's plan of 10 days, 40 days, etc. breeds self righteousness
The means of our faith is to be in Christ Jesus
Believing in Christ and his finished work is the truth that frees us
John 8:32 Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free
Jesus said except a man be born again he shall not see the kingdom of God_(heaven)
No matter how good you think you are it's excepting Jesus Only for salvation
The wages of sin is death but eternal life to those that except Jesus as Saviour
Trusting only in Christ and the cross then reading of God's word changes our behavior
Trusting in manmade plans, rules, rituals and traditions
Keeps one in bondage and breeds false doctrines and religion
A personal relationship with Jesus brings freedom
The Holy Spirit is given latitude when our faith is in Christ and
the Cross for salvation and ongoing sanctification
The error is people thinking they can do works and rituals to become righteous
None is righteous in ones self it's only by being in Christ Jesus
It's a slap in the face of our Lord to see the manmade ways for salvation
If man's works could save us then the crucifixion was all in vain

Jere.17:5-9
5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert,
and shall not see when good cometh;
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth
out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:
who can know it?
John 3:14-21
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son ,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned:
but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Mark 8:34 34 And when he had called the people unto him with his
disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Acts 2:35-36
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ.
Rom.3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one
