Successful does not mean to me how well you live or how much money you have in the bank.
It is a fulfillment, a completion whereby there is satisfaction.
Jesus did it all.
He came to die so that the world might be saved from God’s wrath that will come. His death brought us back to God where we can call God Father, and we will be with him forever.
His sacrifice conquered death, hell, Satan, and the grave because He lives in heaven seated at the right hand of God. God is pleased with his son’s work, and we are blessed.
That is perfect, and to me, eternal success. You don’t have to believe it. But it will not change this fact that Christ died for your sins and that he was buried and he rose again. You only have to accept it and trust him.
He lives.
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
