The Famous “Battle of New Orleans” fought on January 8, 1815 is one of the events in American history that helped to make Andrew Jackson famous. “Old Hickory” as he was called, was known for being as hard as old hickory. Jackson was victorious over the British Army when they tried to take New Orleans in the War of 1812. Unknown to many,… the war was actually over with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent the year before on December 24th, 1814. The battle was fought after the war had already been won.
Isn’t that just like so many Christians today that are fighting battles that Christ has already won. So many things try to separate us from God’s love. Troubles, worries, being harassed, concerns about food and clothing, dangers of every sort, even violent death are some of the things that Paul mentions in Romans chapter 8 (v35). Truly there are challenges in today’s world like never before.
However, when a believer is “in Christ”, as the scriptures teach, has already won the war. Romans 8: 37 says “in all these things we are more than Conquerors through him that loved us (Jesus)”.
Here is some of what has already been “won”….
1. 1. Freedom from Sin – Romans 8:1-2 “therefore now no condemnation” We are free…
2. 2. Family for Support – Romans 12:5 “one body in Christ, and every one members one of another” We have a family…
3. 3. Future that’s Secure – 2 Corinthians 5:17-22 “God “made him to be sin for us, who know no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (Jesus). “ We have a future of righteousness…
Stop the fighting. Enjoy the victory. The Battle of a New-Core-Means… that the battle is over. May this truth keeps marching on….
