Victorious

“To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.” (Rev. 3:21 NIV)

Names of God

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is Victorious.

Jesus is Victorious

“When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.” (John 19:30)

This is a cry of victory. His suffering is over. His work on earth is done. He has accomplished the work His Father had prepared for Him. He had made a way. It was not a half job and nothing was left incomplete. It was done, it was complete, it was finished! He had done everything necessary to save us and give us the opportunity of eternal life with God. In that moment prophesy was fulfilled and complete. In that moment suffering was over. In that moment salvation became a reality. It was a declaration to all that the work was done.  It is finished! Jesus was victorious!

Because of what Jesus did, you are victorious, too!

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor. 15:57)

Jesus won the supreme victory at the cross. Sin was atoned for, and the power of sin and death was broken (John 12:31 and 1 Peter 2:24). After Christ’s crucifixion and burial, He rose from the dead three days later, and now we share that victory. Satan thought he had won the ultimate contest with the death of Christ. Instead, that death released our chains, set us free from the prison of sin, and disarmed the supernatural powers of evil.

“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Col. 2:13–15)

Therefore

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. 8:31)
