II. How We Overcome!

1. By The Blood of the Lamb!

• This is the Cross!
• This is the Sacrificial, Substitutionary Death of Jesus

John 1:29 The next day he (John the Baptist) saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” 36 and he looked at Jesus as said, “Behold the Lamb of God!”

• The Blood that Redeems You!

1 Peter 1:18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers 19 But with the precious blood of a lamb unblemished spotless the blood of Christ!

• The Blood Cleanses and Forgives You!

Hebrews 9:14 – The Blood of Christ Cleanses your conscience form dead works to save the living God! 23 Without the shedding of blood there is not forgiveness of sins!

• The Blood of Jesus Provides Constant Access to the Father!

Hebrews 10:19 Since therefore brothers we have confidence to enter in to the Holy Place by the Blood of Jesus!

2. By The Word of Your Testimony! Acts 1:8

Acts 1:8 And you shall receive power and when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the erath!

3. By Not Loving Your Life Even Unto Death!

Luke 9:23 If anyone wishes to come after me He must deny himself and take up His cross daily and follow me!

Romans 10:6-15
