Hebrews 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Because of our new status as “Brethren” we can be assured of victory, because our Elder brother, Christ has never lost a battle, and as brethren we should never lose any battle too. One of the reasons why we often sputter and fail as Christians is because we may not have understood fully the implication of that term brethren, and as a result, our approach to all of life’s difficulties and its problems, often savors of humanistic perspectives.
As Christians we will encounter hurdles, problems, and challenges like everyone else, but the mere fact that we have Christ with us, and in us, should be the game-changer as it pertains to outcomes. Christians are not to handle difficulties the same way that the secular world does, for that term “Brethren” should be ringing in our ears constantly, driving, energizing, and motivating us to trust, obey, believe, and win.
That’s why Paul declares that believers are more than conquerors, for to conquer is one thing, but to be more than a conqueror means that such an one would have the confidence and assurance that the battle is already won. In fact, whenever God would send His people into battle in times past, you would often hear Him say, “Behold, I have given such and such into your hands”.
2nd Chronicles 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
