How do we know God gives us victory?

God's declaration of victory comes directly from His promises in Scripture. For instance, in the account of Joshua conquering Jericho, God tells Joshua, 'See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof' (Joshua 6:2). This assertion emphasizes God’s sovereign grace, showing that He gives victory before we even engage. Furthermore, the New Testament affirms this reality—Paul declares in 2 Timothy that God saved us in Christ before the world began, highlighting that our victory is rooted in God’s plan and Christ’s finished work at Calvary.
