The idea of being a Christian winner

[humble soul]

You have been saved by the grace of God. Does that make you feel like a winner? And does that make you feel sorry for all those who are not saved?
Not that I don't like the feeling of victory.
In my rugby playing days, the feeling of winning after a hard fought game was awesome. Or winning on the athletic track as I had some success there too.
Dying and reaching Heaven. Will that feel like that? Victory.
Yet part of me thinks "winning" is part of the secular world. Not the spiritual world. That we will have an even deeper euphoria than victory. Because "winning" is transient and much a part of capitalist society too. ( Not that I dislike capitalism)
No one likes losing or being a loser. Do losers go to Hell then?

If by "loser" you mean the disobedient haters of God, then they will not inherit eternal life.

No. I mean the ones who aren't saved like you have been saved

 

[Hopeful]

No. I mean the ones who aren't saved like you have been saved

They are synonymous.

They are synonymous.

Synonymous with being disobedient haters of God.
I see

At any point, other people can be winners also. I agree it will be an even more euphoric feeling than winning.

I try not to get overly proud. I do get proud of myself for what I can achieve if I do achieve something. Thats a good thing. I don't want to drag myself down .

Salvation is not something "won" as you say. It is a gift of God by His grace through faith in Christ Jesus. We are not saved by our good works but we were created for good works that we might live Godly lives.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:4-10 NKJV
