Unfortunately, many Christians live defeated, in spiritually infancy and spiritual poverty, continually condemned for their failures. They don’t realize what was actually accomplished when Christ went to the cross for them. They don’t realize that they are in fact victorious in Him, so they live as people defeated, continuing on in slavery even though they have been set free. But as Christians, we don’t have to live like this. We can know that we are saved. We can know that we are not under condemnation for our failures. We can know that we are children of God. And we can know that we are co-heirs to the kingdom with Christ. We must only live according to the Spirit instead of trying to do it all in our own strength.
