YOU ARE A WORLD OVERCOMER

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4 (KJV)

 

 Our faith as believers is predicated on the fact that Christ has given us victory. The scripture says in the Book of 1 John 4:4: “…Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (KJV), 2 Corinthians 2:14 says: “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ,…” (KJV). In Christ, we always win. We never lose. Nothing works against the believer. You are a winner in Christ. 

 

 One of the greatest victories you have as a believer is the victory over sin. Sin has no power over you anymore. Christ has destroyed the power of sin on the cross. Once you are in Christ, you have forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace. The Book of Colossians 1:14 says: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” (KJV).

 

 Beloved, stop thinking sin! Sin is no longer an issue with the believer. You have been delivered from the power of sin. Sin is broken over your life. The scripture is very clear. Sin shall not have dominion over you because you are not under the law but under grace. Don’t think sin; think righteousness. Awake to righteousness and sin not. Have the mentality that you are always righteous. Wake up every morning and thank God for your righteousness. 

 

 The beauty of the gospel is that God is no longer judging the believer because He has become the propitiation for our sins. Don’t let your sin drive you away from God. In fact, it should drive you to God. That is why He said to come boldly to obtain mercy. Mercy is God not giving you the judgment you deserve. And grace is God giving you the good you don’t deserve. He is a merciful God. He has judged your sin already on the cross. Jesus has paid for it. All you need to do is believe what has been done for you, and you will see powerful changes in your life.
