Read 1 Peter 2
By Keith Boggs

Read that passage several times and you will see that we believers have got it going on… not because of “who” we are, but because of Who He is! He has made us a special people! What does it take to be a
Champion for Christ?

A Champion for Christ is a Christian with a Heart for others that is Anointed and Motivated by God to be Passionate about Life displaying Integrity in all situations while Overcoming adversity to be the person Needed in the world today.

C - Christian. Simply, a Christian is a Champion.

H - a Heart for others. So much of the Christian life is about others. You are to be a contributor to helping others win. Do not sit on the bench or in the bleachers any longer, get into the game and give your heart for
others!

A - Anointed. In other words, God’s Spirit is upon them. God is working in them, God is working on them, and God is working through them.

M - Motivated by God. A Champion is motivated to win in. They have an aim, an endeavor. A Champion strives to win, a Champion wants to win. Paul’s motivation was that He might win Christ.

P - Passionate about Life. This Life, the Christian Life is the only Life and it is worth living. May God set us on fire!

I - Integrity. Integrity is honesty, truth, honor, reliability. Integrity is the best friend your friends will ever have.

O - Overcoming. Yes, and all those who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. (2 Tim. 3:12) To win there will have been times where you have had to prevail, rise above, and conquer any
challenges.

N - Needed. We need CHAMPIONS! Be a CHAMPION today!
