This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (1 John 5:4)
Those who know their God will grow stronger and be full of great exploits (Daniel 11:32). All prophets and saints of God started from a position of weakness, then grew stronger in faith and did great exploits for God’s kingdom with the help of God’s Spirit in them.
As it is written: “Let the weak say, I am strong” (Joel 3:10).
As Apostle Paul wrote, he rejoices in all his weaknesses so that in weakness God’s power will be made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9–10).
He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
God has given us, believers, His divine power to do all He has called us to do, and we lack nothing, for He is our Good Shepherd (Psalm 23:1; 2 Peter 1:3). His presence is in us and helps us to walk in faith and in obedience to His will and higher purpose for our lives, for He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
Our faith alone is what achieves victory for us over the evil one, for we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony (Revelation 12:11). We testify to the goodness of God to us—sinners saved by His grace, His lovingkindness, His unending mercy, and His great faithfulness.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), but by His wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
We have a righteousness from heaven that is received by faith alone, for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8–9).
We thank the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the perfect atonement for our sins through His Son’s death on the cross, and we rejoice in His infinite mercy and grace toward us—sinners saved by grace.
It is Christ’s finished work on the cross that saves us, and we stand firm in faith, believing that God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
All who believe in Jesus by faith pass from death to life (John 5:24). But all who refuse to believe and have faith in the Son, whom God sent as the Lamb of God for the world (John 1:29), remain under God’s coming wrath (John 3:36) as unrepentant sinners who continue in unbelief. They remain spiritually dead and do not have the new life of Christ in them.
Our faith is what achieves our victory over the evil one, the world, and our sinful nature which fights against the truth of God’s Word—which is true and eternal (John 17:17; 1 Peter 1:25).
