This reckoning gives us no holiness of our own. It gives no cause for
boasting in our own record. It gives no uneasiness as to whether we
have had this or that feeling as a witness of the Spirit.
It will be seen from these Scriptures which have been considered that
every true Christian has _a measure_ of victory in Christ. As Dr.
Scofield has pointed out, the experience of Christians and Christian
experience may be two entirely different things; for Christian
experience is wholly the product of the Holy Spirit. Whatever measure
of true Christian life is expressed, therefore, is the work of the
Holy Spirit, and to that extent is victory by faith, even though the
Christian is ignorant of the truth of the faith walk.
The Victorious Life, which is just another term for the normal
“Christian Life,” is simply walking moment by moment in complete faith
in His perfect work.
Whether I am in victory or not at this moment is simply a question as
to whether or not I am appropriating the sufficient grace of the Lord
Jesus for the needs of this very moment. My glorious privilege is so to
appropriate that grace, _now_, and to do it moment by moment without
any breaks. For His Grace IS sufficient. His Grace is “more than
enough.”
