And If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:14 NIV)
John clearly states that genuine faith in Christ Jesus is the evidence that a person is born of God. Only those who believe in the sonship of Jesus can conveniently gain victory over the world by their faith in the Son of God. Of course, no one can defeat the world except through the help of God. Hence, the Scripture clearly states that the secret of overcoming the world is faith in the Lord Jesus, the Son of God.
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Saviour is a child of God and will overcome the world. Principally, our fight is against sin and the world’s system that has made God’s commands irrelevant and difficult to understand. Although we are in the world, we are not of the world. We overcome the world through Christ who strengthens us by His spirit. For no one can overcome the world through the arms of flesh. Look to Christ for strength in your battle against sin and the world system.
Rev. Moses Abayomi Sodeinde
