Jesus was the firstborn of God and He overcame the world and destroyed the works of Satan. Now all who believe in Jesus’ death and resurrection are born of God according to the Gospel. We therefore have a new life, one which has now overcome the world. Our new life is about living for God and so we do not love the world or the things in it; the source of our victorious power is faith. As our faith deepens the world loses its attraction and power so that we can overcome everything the world throws at us. This faith is not just belief but trust in God’s promises and power. Pray earnestly that your faith will continue to grow and overcome the temptations and trials that the world presents, keeping you steadfast in God’s victory.
