Holding on to Jesus Every Day Victory is our ultimate goal in a life where we are trying to walk with Jesus. Sometimes we are focused on the big battles that come up in our lives. It may be realizing we need to give ourselves to Christ for the very first time, or trying to recommit ourselves to His kingdom after being gone from the fight. We may suffer attacks on our faith from our health, family, or careers. As we win for Christ in these ways, we also want to understand how to sustain the victory we have gained. We need to hold onto Jesus every day to do just that. A. Remember that victory in not of ourselves 1.) Paul says our glory is in ___________________ (Phil. 3:3) 2.)

It is a daily discipline to be a disciple of Jesus. (Luke 9:23) Christ promises intimacy (John 17:23), protection (John 10:27-28), and victory (1 Cor. 15:57-58) to those who are willing to hold to Him every day.
