Revelation 3:21-22 (God's Word)

Paul wrote: "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith--and this not from yourselves. It is the gift of God--not by works so that no one can boast" Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV). But here John says: "I will allow everyone who wins the victory to sit with me on my throne, as I have won the victory and have sat down with my Father on his throne. Let the person who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches" Revelation 3:21-22 (God's Word). Our victory is not doing good deeds but trusting in God in every situation that we face, even when it seems wrong to our human nature and is dangerous. Jesus trusted the father in every situation, shown in the Garden of Gethsemane and his death. Lord, give me faith that my trust in you would control the way I think and the choices I make. Give me the victory of faith.
