For Tuesday, September 22, 2020.
1 John 5:5 NLT: “Who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.”
If you are born again, you are a child of God. And the idea that anything born of God could be defeated by the world seemed strange to the Apostle John, and it should seem strange to us. The key is not only a one-time “come-to-the-altar-and-get-saved” faith, but a consistent faith, an ongoing trust and reliance on Jesus the Christ.
With the current world health crisis, civil disobedience and political division, it can sometimes feel like the world is out to get you. But Jesus said, “I have overcome the world!” So a better solution is to “Let go and let God!” The Bible says that those who place their faith and trust in Jesus will be the winners in this life, and in the next life, and that gives us a lot of hope!
Blessings and safety to all,
