The Bible says that we are in a war against the flesh and the devil. That being said, it's important for all of us Christians to understand that we will face adversities and hardships, and these will come in many forms. Regardless of the manner in which adversity comes, we all know that it comes to test us and produce in us Christ-like character if we face it the right way.

Some of us face hardships with a victim mentality, thinking of ourselves as losers even before the fight begins. Some of us face adversity with uncertainty, thinking that we will either win or lose. We need to know one thing: Christ has already overcome the world, and if we are fighting on His side, we should approach the battle from a standpoint of victory! There is no loser or victim in Christ!

Are you facing adversity and hardships right now? Here are some Bible verses declaring that we have the victory in Christ.

Romans 8:31-37 – "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

Psalm 91:9-11 – "If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go."

1 John 4:4 – "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."

1 John 5:3-5 – "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?"

John 16:33 (Jesus) – "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will[d] have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
