1 John 5:4 (NKJV)
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—[a]our faith.
The moment we repent of our sins, and ask to the Lord Jesus Christ to come in our lives as Lord and Savior, the holy spirit seals us and thus
becomes the children of God, born-again by the spirit.
Romans 10:9-10, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Acts 2:38, Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 3:26, For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
And our new journey begins of becoming (Christ-like) (Sanctification).
We are still in this world, but we are not for the world
The world itself becomes our enemy, that we are to overcome:
The meaning of the world in this verse is not "kosmos" or the people, but the devils system and can be found in verse.
1 John 2:16 (NKJV)
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
Lust of the flesh:
1. Pornography is as ordinary as facebook in this generation, even children can have an easy access over cellphones!
2. Pre-marital sex among people, specially the younger generation. (The world says it's okay!)
3. Sexual Immorality, un-natural sex (LGBTQ)
Lust of the Eye:
Covetous - strong desire to have the things of others
"even with all they have, they covet the wealth of others"
Pride of Life:
God hates proud people!
James 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.
Proverbs 11:2
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.
James 4:10 (NKJV)
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
And we overcome that are in the world our (flesh and the devil's scheme) through our faith in Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [a]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Ask God for strength and grace to overcome our struggles with sins.
