Believe And Overcome

"Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"  I John 5:5.  To overcome is to be victorious.  The world beckons us to follow.  The world tries to lure us away from God.  Her call is constant.  She will not cease to invite.  If we win the battle today, we must engage in the fight tomorrow.  The devil is the prince of this world.  Those who are engaged to the world are the enemies of God.  But, we can overcome because Jesus has overcome.  Jesus met the devil and conquered.  We must stand with Jesus.  His promise is more sure for finally the world will fall through the mighty power of God.  Belief builds a mighty fortress.  Belief will bring forth a triumph.  Believe in Jesus as the Son of God, and all shall overcome.  God, the Father, acknowledged Jesus to be the Son.  The heavenly host announced Him as the Son.  The prophets of old declared Him to be the Son.  His work among men proved Him to be the Son.  His followers confessed Him to be the Son.  He was clothed in flesh, but He was the Son.  He was slain on the cross, but He was the Son.  His mangled body was laid in the tomb, but He was the Son.  And, the empty grave announced forever that He is the Son of God.  This belief is our triumph over the world.
