'Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
(1 John 5:5).
Life without Christ is no life at all! You have to be born of the water and of the Spirit. It is Christ who made it possible for us to regain that which was lost in Eden, due to the entrance of sin. It is only through Christ that we can be overcomers, since we were all born in sin and shaped in iniquity. But those who are born of God, that is, believing by faith that Jesus is the Son of God will overcome the world. It was Christ who went to the Cross for us, and had victory over death and the grave, that we can experience eternal life in Him. When we are overcomers, we will have victory over worldly sins and temptations; because Jesus, our Saviour has already defeated these powers of darkness. Christ was God in the flesh, who came down from heaven to redeem us from the bondage of sin and the clutches of Satan. Why? Because He loves us unconditionally and wants to save us. That is why Christ, the Son of God died such a horrible death that He didn't deserve, so we could live the life we deserved. What an awesome God! Christ victory is our victory. It is that victory, which is the faith that overcomes the world. We must believe that Jesus is the Son of God, so we may become one with him through the Spirit, and be able to partake of His victory over the world. We need to understand that we cannot do anything of ourselves, it is only Christ in us who gives us the strength and power to overcome. Let us thank God, who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have overcome because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Let us therefore continue to live by faith; that is, trusting and obeying God, and keep loving Him and each other until Jesus comes to take us home.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more
