- Live in Christ’s victory – Jesus has already defeated Satan, so we don’t have to live in fear, defeat, or shame.

- Walk in spiritual authority – Because of Jesus, we have power over sin and the enemy. Are we living like we believe it?

- Trust God's plan – Redemption was planned from the very beginning. No matter what happens, God is in control.
