Much is being said these days concerning the victorious life, and with so much preaching, praying, and discussion, the questions arise, "Why do so few seem to experience complete deliverance from sin and the joy and satisfaction such freedom is said to produce? Why is it that many who really love God and desire earnestly to walk with Him, manifest and confess an utter lack of power to do it? Why do others who have enjoyed a genuine and happy experience, fall back into habits and practices once forsaken, and in their life deny their profession, though they do not give it up? Why do some rejoice in the fact that they have victory over great sins, but are constantly defeated by little ones?"

Let us enter upon a prayerful study of this important subject, with the solemn affirmation in our hearts, "Thanks be to God, I can have the victory."
