Overcoming the World

Lady of Light

Sometimes it is difficult to meet all of the challenges that life has to offer.
We feel overwhelmed with all that is going on in the world. But in 1 John, Chapter 5, it tells us:

"For whatsoever is born of God over cometh the world: and this is the victory that over cometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that over cometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth." 1 John 5:5-6

So, if you have a relationship with Jesus Christ and believe that Jesus is the Son of God, you have overcome the world. In verse 7, it says:

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word an the Holy Ghost and these three are one."

Therefore, we can take comfort in the fact that although life can have many
challenges, we have overcome. How do we know this? Because the bible tells us that this is our given condition if we believe in Jesus. This reminder is a help to me when I get overwhelmed every now and then. I hope it is an encouragement to you as well.

God bless you and have a great day!
