“The Bible calls us not to live a life of victory, but a life of obedience to God. Victory is oriented toward self, obedience is oriented towards God. This is not to say that God does not want us to experience victory, rather to emphasize that victory is a byproduct of obedience. The more we live an obedient life, the more we experience the joy of victory and freedom over sin.”
