How To Live In Victory!
"You are of God, little children, and have
overcome them, because He who is in
you is greater than he who is in the
world."
1 John 4: 4
In his first epistle, Apostle John had a lot of
say about the devil. He wrote to his churches,
telling them they'd overcome the wicked one.
The devil, he said, “sinned from the
beginning”
and tempts others to do the same, but Jesus
came to “destroy the works of the devil” (3:8).
John wrote, “We know that we are of God,
and the whole world lies under the sway of
the wicked one” (5:19). The One in
us—
Jesus Christ—is greater than he who
dominates the world.
Satan's power is limited, and
his abilities will
never match God’s omnipotence. Through Christ,
we have overcome the devil, we are of God, and
we belong to Him who is greater than Satan by far.
Let’s live like overcomers, unafraid, unintimidated,
victorious. Be thankful Satan has limitations and
our
infinite God knows how to protect us from all evil.
"God would not throw us into the conflict
if He did not also give us the resources
needed to stand against the enemy."
