Whatever Is Born Of God - 3/17/08

Hello! Here is a short message for today - I hope you allow it to encourage your heart.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world -- our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4-5 NKJV)

Against we who have been born of God, there is nothing in the world which can defeat or overcome us. As we hold to faith in Jesus Christ our Lord, Son of God Most High, we can rest confidently in the fact that "if God is for us, who can be against us?"

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31 NKJV)

We know that God works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28), and since this is the case, we know that no matter what situation we find ourselves in, whether it appears to be good or bad, victory or defeat, success or failure, our faith in Him is the victory that continually overcomes our fears, our doubts, and our struggles. In Him, we truly experience "the victory that has overcome the world."

Blessings,
Andrew
