What do we need to live a victorious Christian life? What do we need to make us true, fruitful, successful Christians?

Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.

Everything we receive from God is part of Jesus. He doesn’t give us experiences apart from Jesus. The fruit of the Spirit is Jesus. Everything we learn from Him is what is already in Jesus.

Revealing more and more of Jesus. It is releasing Him to live out Himself in and through us by giving Him permission to use us to live His life. As time goes by, He increasing and we decreasing.

We will be transformed from the inside out. Not bits and pieces of us from the outside being transformed like a short temper, tendency to complain, etc.

It is from a new center and spreading outward. It is His life infusing our life. He becomes the Life of our life. The source of our life. Our center.

Our spirit is one with Him. He wants to spread out through our soul transforming it step by step, layer by layer. Putting off the old, replacing it with Himself. Becoming one with Him.

Just remember, it is God transforming us, not us transforming ourselves to please God.

What is the key? Faith and surrender. More on that later.
