I John 5:4-5 NKJV
[4] For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. [5] Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Beloved,
We have talked about how to recognize the world and its influence, as well as what can overcome the world. We said things like your business, your children, your relationships will overcome the world if they are born of God. If you are not sure if what you have is born of God, sacrifice it to the Lord. Hand it over to Him and let His will prevail.
Now to who overcomes the world; people who overcome the world are:
- Those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Without salvation Christ, no one can overcome the world.
- Those who have the witness of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit bears witness with their Spirit that they are children of God.
- Those who do not live by the dictates of the flesh. They live by the Spirit.
- Those who are not subject to habitual sin, 1 John 5:18.
- Those who love righteousness, Psalm 45:7. They do not tolerate iniquity at all; they enforce righteousness everywhere they go.
- Those who do not seek the applause or approval of men, Daniel 3:16. They perform for the audience of One.
We discuss this more next time.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
