The sermons opens by calling the listeners to study the Bible to achieve the path to victory and pray for understanding and obedience. It references 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 to establish that victory comes from God as a gift through Jesus Christ, not by human effort or wisdom. If God wishes to show us the victory path, only then will we be able to achieve it. Hebrews 12:1 outlines looking to Biblical witnesses as the path to victory. Figures like Moses, Joseph, David, Abraham, Ruth, Job and others provide examples of overcoming challenges through faithfulness.
Specifically, Moses has been shown not to compromise eternal things for temporary gain. Joseph exemplified maintaining convictions when facing temptation alone. David modelled being fully devoted to God, so believers need not fear lack of provision. Moreover, Abraham demonstrated unshakeable faith in God’s promises despite impossible circumstances, while Ruth remained resolute following God. Job endured immense suffering yet kept his integrity and Rahab’s story demonstrates it’s never too late to turn to God. Through harsh endurance, belief and determination, they were able to walk on the victory path.
The sermon exhorts believers to emulate these witnesses by not compromising convictions, being devoted to God and upholding faith in God’s promises through prayer and Bible study. It upholds withstanding deception and persevering with the assurance of reward. The overarching message emphasises principles of steadfast faith, wholehearted obedience, upholding convictions, consistent spiritual discipline and enduring to the end as key to victorious Christian living, as demonstrated through Biblical witnesses’ examples of overcoming challenges by faith.
