For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:4-5
Life is not easy, this is a simple truth that everyone can agree upon. And when you become a Born Again Christian, life can become even harder, as Jesus said “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first” (John 15:18) But we need to remember ultimately no matter how hard life gets, we have the final victory in Jesus Christ. Whatever schemes or plans Satan has to come against us, remember “It Is Finished”, Christ has already defeated Satan at the cross! You are victorious through Jesus Christ
The Apostle John says this under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit “Whoever is Born of God (Born Again) overcomes the world” Wow think about that, whoever calls upon the name of The Lord , whoever is washed in the blood of Christ, whoever is baptized with the Holy Spirit, has already overcome the world! You don’t need to be afraid of Satan and the demons, they need to be afraid of You!
As the Bible says “The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17) The question is, do you really believe that you are victorious in Jesus Christ? Do you really believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who defeated sin and death forever? If you say you believe this, is your life reflecting this? Faith is an action, an allegiance to God, if we claim to have faith in Christ, then let our lives demonstrate this!
So how do you overcome the world? The Apostle John says “He that believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God” The original Greek word here translated as “believe” is Pistis, the same word that faith is often translated as. When you see Believe and Faith in the English Bible, they are typically used interchangeably. Believing in Jesus Christ, means having true faith in Christ as Lord, that you submit to his authority as your Master!
We overcome the world because Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33) Our identity , our hope, and our victory is in and through Jesus Christ our Lord! You are victorious in Christ because you have been Born Again as a Child of God and a Temple of the Holy Spirit, Amen!
