If you watch boxing, you know that one can be knocked down but yet one may not be knocked out. As long as one can stand up within ten counts and fight on, one may still win the match.

As for Christians, the ultimate victory has been assured, all we need is to stand up and fight on. We may get knocked down very often, but if we do not give up, we will see victory. This victory has already been assured through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Satan and the fallen angels have been destined to condemnation in the final day. Thus, we should not live in fear nor discouragement. We can live in confidence in God and for God.

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Corinthians 15:58)
