Abraham Lincoln once made a statement about General Burnside to the effect that he could snatch defeat from the jaws of certain victory. No matter the advantages Burnside had, he always seemed to lose. In John 16:33, we learn that Christ has overcome the world. In I John 5:3-5, we learn that as Christians, we are partakers in this victory, and have also overcome the world. We have victory! But will we be like General Burnside and lose our assured victory? Will we give up the sure win in favor of defeat? James 1:27 says “to keep oneself unstained by the world.” Will we do so? Will we maintain our victory?
