Overcoming the World
READ: 1 John 5:1-6
Have you ever had a bad day where absolutely nothing is going your way? When you have so many things on your mind that it seems like you're never going to finish a thing or you are going to forget half of your list that had been imprinted on your mind for so long? Well, I certainly have, and it is definitely not fun, as you can well imagine.
However, it is great to know that Jesus is always there beside you. With the help of God, you can overcome anything. In 1 John 5:5 it says, "Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."
In other words, us! Isn't that amazing how much our faith plays a part in our lives? Everything we do should be done because of our love for our Savior, Jesus Christ. Faith is the most important part of your life, and you should never forget that. You should always remember that Jesus is there for you all of the time and will help you overcome everything in the world and even the world itself in time. Of course, this is not easy because of our sinful nature, but reminding each other and ourselves day after day, through the study and use of God's Word, will help.
Believe in Jesus as your Savior and you can overcome the world!
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: Do you believe that we will overcome the world with the help of Jesus? How can we show our love to God because of what He's done for us?
PRAYER SUGGESTIONS: Ask God to strengthen your faith and for help in difficult situations. Thank and praise Him for the gift of faith and eternal life through the death of Jesus, His dear Son.
