Chapter 11


Christ’s Victory Means
We Can Overcome



      We can overcome, fully entirely. Jesus died to make a way of escape for us, that by prevailing prayer by His grace, we might overcome every temptation, every subtle snare of the adversary, and at last sit down with Him in His kingdom. 2ST 74

      “To him that overcometh, will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne.” We can overcome. Yes, fully, entirely. Jesus died to make a way of escape for us, that we might overcome every fault, resist every temptation, and sit down at last with Him in His throne. 1RH 363.

      You can be overcomers. Go to God daily for strength, and every day overcome. YI 15

      There is no reason why we should not be overcomers. 2ST 195

      We can overcome. Yes; fully, entirely. Jesus died to make a way of escape for us, that we might overcome every evil temper, every sin, every temptation, and sit down at last with Him. I T 144

      He was made a child that He might understand the temptations of childhood, and know its weaknesses and be able to help the children to be overcomers. 2ST 325

      The greatest conquest for every one of us will be to overcome self, to bring self into obedience to the law of God. 1RH 540

      Let none . . . regard their defects as incurable. God will give faith and grace to overcome them. GC 489

      You can overcome evil - evil thoughts, evil desires - by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. We cannot afford to sin. It costs too much. YI 640

57
      The fragrant incense of the merits of Christ gives to the believing soul the virtues of His character. Thus it is that the co-operation of divine energy and merit with man makes him a complete overcomer in every sense, and elevates humanity in the scale of moral value with God. 3RH 628

      . . . through the merits of the blood of a crucified and risen Saviour, all who will may be overcomers. 2RH 8

      God has given His holy law to man as His measure of character. By this law you may see and overcome every defect in your character. 5RH 333

      Each student is to take himself in hand, and with God’s help, overcome the faults that mar his character. 5RH 69

      We must strive to overcome, looking unto Jesus; for in every temptation He will be at our side to give us the victory. 6RH 330.

      God has given His holy law to man as His measure of character. By this law you may see and overcome every defect in your character. You may sever yourself from every idol, and link yourself to the throne of God by the golden chain of grace and truth. 4RH 299

      One class are sanctified through the truth; the other know nothing of the transforming power of divine grace. The former are dying daily to self, and are overcoming sin. The latter are indulging their own lusts, and becoming the servants of Satan. 1RH 262

      He obtains for the fallen sons and daughters of Adam that strength which it is impossible for them to gain for themselves, that in His name they may overcome the temptations of Satan. 1RH 146

      The overcomer is to be clothed in the white raiment of Christ’s righteousness. 5RH 431

      It is our privilege to be overcomers by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. 5RH 513

      Let no man present the idea that man has little or nothing to do in the great work of overcoming; for God does nothing for man without his cooperation . . . Never leave the impression on the mind that there is little or nothing to do on the part of man; but rather teach man to cooperate with God, that he may be successful in overcoming. 1SM 381

      Temptations will assail you on the right hand and on the left; but by the patient continuance in well-doing, you may overcome the defects in your characters. 4T 341

58
      Christ overcame the power of appetite in the wilderness of temptation on your account, making it possible for you to overcome on your own account. 4T 257

      Your probation has been lengthened that you may have an opportunity to redeem the past, overcome the defects in your character, and show in your life that devotion to God which He claims from you. 4T 216

      Christ came and withstood the fiercest temptation of Satan, and, in behalf of the race, overcame appetite, showing that man may overcome. 3T 161

      With watchfulness and prayer, their (ministers’) weakest points can be so guarded as to become their strongest points, and they can encounter temptation without being overcome. 2T 511

      Christ overcame all the temptations of Satan, and so may your children. 2T 286

      If all will only manifest that degree of ambition, zeal, and earnestness for everlasting life that they manifest in their worldly pursuits, they will be victorious overcomers. 1T 407

      At every advanced point the heart is tested and tried a little closer. If the professed people of God find their hearts opposed to this straight work, it should convince them that they have a work to do to overcome, if they would not be spewed out of the mouth of the Lord. I T 187

      God is our strength. We must look to Him for wisdom and guidance, and with His glory in view, and the good of the church, and the salvation of our own souls, overcome our besetting sins. Each individual should seek to obtain new victory every day. 1RH 22

      When temptations and trials rush in upon us, let us go to God, and agonize with Him in prayer. He will not turn us away empty; but will give us grace and strength to overcome, and to break the power of the enemy. 1RH 11

      We are to be overcomers, copartners with Jesus, not lending our influence to the work of the enemy. 3ST 11

      We may receive grace whereby we may be overcomers, and inherit the life that measures with the life of God. 3ST 289

      Thus day by day, with the help of Jesus, you may overcome self. YI 251

59
      Whatever may be the nature of your defects, the Spirit of the Lord will enable you to discern them, and grace will be given you whereby they may be overcome. YI 173

      Through the merits of His blood, you may overcome every spiritual foe, and remedy every defect of character. Jesus “was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” And by beholding, you may become changed into the same image. YI 70

      An eternal weight of glory awaits the overcomer. YI 441

      Yet if you will come to Christ, and make Him your trust, you will be in no danger. He will fight the battle for you, and will overcome the powers of darkness in your behalf. 2ST 87

      We must grasp in confidence the rich promises of God; then we shall be overcomers. 4ST 143

      The good we may accomplish by thus uniting with our Saviour we shall never know till, as overcomers, we enter the city of God. YI 456

      All impurity of thought will be overcome, and the mind will be trained to pure and holy thoughts. 2ST 447

      The strength of Jesus will be imparted to every soul who strives lawfully for the mastery. All may be overcomers. 2ST 293

      He stood in His integrity, a conqueror, and through Him the sons of Adam may also be overcomers. 2ST 189

      Only by earnest, determined effort and faith in the merits of Christ can we overcome, and gain the kingdom of heaven. YI 461

      Christ has power from His Father to give His divine grace and strength to man -making it possible for us, through His name, to overcome . . . That scene of trial in the wilderness was the foundation of the plan of salvation, and gives to fallen man the key whereby he, in Christ’s name, may overcome. 1ST 74

      We are to be overcomers, to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil. 2ST 489

      He has given us abundant promises to encourage us to be overcomers. 2RH 291

      . . . all who finally have a seat with Christ upon His throne will be those who have overcome . . . In Christ there is sufficient grace to

60
overcome all our evil traits of character, and strength is found alone in Him. 2RH 471

      In man’s behalf He resisted the temptations of the enemy, and made it possible for man, by faith in Him, to overcome in his own behalf. 4ST 269

      By some a constant battle is maintained for self-control. Daily they strive silently and prayerfully against harshness of speech and temper. These strivings may never by appreciated by human beings. They may get no praise from human lips for keeping back the hasty words which sought for utterance. The world will never see these conquests, and if it could, it would despise the conquerors. But in heaven’s record they are registered as overcomers. 4ST 55

      And by passing over the ground which man must travel, by showing that, through the divine power granted him, man can overcome every form of temptation, Christ prepared the way for us to gain the victory. 3ST 386

      Man was not able, in his own behalf, to meet and overcome the prince of darkness; But Christ overcame him in man’s behalf and broke his power over the human race, so that through His merits they might be overcomers in their own behalf. 2ST 287

      . . . Whatever may be the habits and practices of men, they may overcome them in His name and through His merits. God saw that it was impossible for man to overcome in his own strength, with his own feeble moral power; yet man is required to exercise all the capabilities and powers that God has given him in order to overcome, and then he needs a higher power, and help has been laid upon One who is mighty to save. Divine power may combine with human effort, that through Jesus man may stand free, a conqueror. 2RH 401
