1 John 5:4-5“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world.And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes thatJesus is the Son of God.”
We who believe are called overcomers in 1 John 5:4-5. Since we are born again, which can either mean “ born from above” or “born a second time,” we have the new capacity to live victoriously over this world’s system. Think about this concept. You are no longer a slave of the Old Nature but can have victory over the sin that enslaved you. However, this victory does not come through your own might but by the power of God.
Take a moment and thank Jesus for His triumph over this world, which permits us to do the same. Jesus said in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation [pressure]; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Because He overcame, we can say with Paul, “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:57). Thank God who gives you victory over sin.
