Recently, I taught from the subject "How to Live a Victorious Life," based on 1 Peter 2:1-10. Through God's word, we learned that a victorious life is not based on material things, status, degrees or accomplishments. All of these things are good, but they won't give you true victory. A victorious life is based on what's within, not what is on the outside. Through this teaching, we learned that in order to have a victorious life, there are some things we must do.
First, we must perform what I refer to as "Spring Cleaning." 1 Peter 2:1 (NLT) says, "So get rid of all malicious behavior and deceit. Don’t just pretend to be good! Be done with hypocrisy and jealousy and backstabbing." We must clean up and clean out any behavior that is not pleasing to God. We must do away with false pretense. It's time for God's people to be real. That's the beginning of a victorious life. Stay tuned for Part 2.
