Child, there is a price to be paid for all victories of life. My Son Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for your salvation. I, His Father, gave Him, paying a horrendous price as well.
So why do many of My children think that they will be victorious in life with no price tag attached? It is true that salvation, the most magnanimous gift of all the ages, is free; but victories thereafter must be earned along life’s pathways. You cannot ever pay for your salvation, but each trial you endure brings you closer to Me and refines your soul and spirit.
Do not be a sluggard. Champion athletes on earth earn triumphs via much training, time and labor. It is no different in the Spirit realm. Only I know who the real champions, or victors, are in My realm. Selah.
“Everyone who competes in the games exercise self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.” (I Corinthians 9: 25) Read verses 26-27.
